0Hi,02br
02br
00I have a proper name, IPC, and am wondering if you would put "a" if used this way in this sentence.02br
02br
00I am planning to establish 01u00a02u00 new IPC. 02br

00 Let's say IPC stands for International Potters Association. Can a proper name can take on "a" or any other articles? 0-

0Thank you. How would you interprete the original sentence? Would you interperete it as wanting to establish as a whole new IPC, leaving the concept of IPC intact? Help. Let's assume that IPC stands for "Inrternational Pumkin-heads Conference."02br
