Check OALD for at least one clear example of the count usage. But also be aware that even non-count nouns occasionally accept the indefinite article (The representative spoke at the meeting yesterday with an enormous enthusiasm. / The representative spoke at the meeting yesterday with enormous enthusiasm. / *The representative spoke at the meetings last week with enormous enthusiasms.) | |
