| Sep 9, 2017 at 16:46 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | If you were to read some novels of the 1930s, you might meet 'getting a flu' more commonly than 'getting flu'. But now it sounds very old-fashioned. Articles are bothersome things; it takes 70 years to learn how everybody uses them, and then you find that the rules have changed. / 'I have a backache' and 'I have backache' are probably about as popular. Or should that be unpopular? | |
