Vocabulary
introduction/an introduction
Hello,
I usually see "My next guest needs no introduction" or "My next guest doesn't need introduction" without "an". However, about an hour ago I came across "...doesn't need an introduction". What do you think? "Need no introduction" is pretty much a set phrase and a lot of dictionaries can confirm that.
Thank you
