Hi! Alexander,

    AK>>> BTW, what a program do you use when you write your messages?   
    AS>> It's my turn to correct you: omit the 'a'.   
      
    ak> Let's  ask Englishmen! ;) After all, when we say "What a lovely day   
    ak> today, isn't?" we use the article 'a'. I suspect the article 'a' makes   
    ak> my question more exact. But if we ask about an uncountable word we don't   
    ak> use 'a'. For instance, "what rubbish!"   
      
   I'm not an Englishman, but I have had continuous experience in an   
   English-speaking environment for over 55 years.  :)   
      
   In this case, Anton is correct.  The 'a' is superfluous.  That is probably   
   because the program would be chosen from an uncountable collection of   
   available programs.  If you wanted some precision, you could have asked using   
   "...what particular program...".   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
