Re "a one"[edit]
I removed this paragraph from the article:
- In standard English, the prop-word one cannot appear immediately after the indefinite article: a one (...) would be replaced by simply one (...) (analyzable as an ordinary pronoun or numeral). However, a one is possible in some dialects.
Standard English uses "a one" in at least one collocation, "such a one", so this is clearly too simplistic. There may or may not be more - either way, I don't feel qualified to fix it, and as there're no sources, moving it here was the best I could think of. - 2A02:560:4251:7C00:7C1B:AEED:C343:273 (talk) 10:13, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
