In high school French, my teacher (RIP Nanette Quinn) described the indefinite article using green peas. “Des petit pois” aren’t countable peas, she said, but “peas in general, the essence of the pea, the green pea-ness.” And for a moment she didn’t get why the class LOST it over the “green penis.”

And if you're anywhere near Greenwich, do bring your family to the National Maritime Museum for the excellent (and free) World Ocean Day event on June 7th - there will be loads to see and do as well as seeing the ace new map. Bring your friends!
