Do the original languages use a/an as indefinite articles? I thought that, in French, they would have been un, une, and des. These don't seem to fit with the hypothesis presented.

I genuinely thought it was “a nicing on a cake”, not “an icing”. Because it makes cakes nice. (English isn’t my first language)

Fascinating! I’m from up in northern Maine. Acadian country. Our ancestors had been exiled to Louisiana where they settled. They said they were ‘Acadians’ but in our French accents, people heard ‘a Cajuns’. ❤️

This is also how Ned became short for Edward
"My Ed" or "mine Ed" became Ned

Seems like it’s happening with “other”. “Another” is morphing into “a nother”, and in “a whole ‘nother thing”.

Currently the word "Of" is having a new definition added to it.
It is being used in place of the word "Have"

It’s common and not worth correcting, but another has become “a nother” instead of “an other” when emphasizing more.

I wonder how many times a typo in a dictionary has created an entirely new word by accident.
