   Hi, all!   
      
   Reading a novel "The standard of living", by Dorothy Parker, I read this:   
      
   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
   Annabel and Midge had been best friends almost from the day that Midge   
   had found a job as stenographer with the firm that employed Annabel.   
   ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
   How can I explain to my conscience the absence of "a" before "stenographer"? ;)   
      
   Bye, all!   
   Alexander Koryagin
