On (a) second thought...
Hello,
Is it okay to say "on a second thought" instead of "on second thought"? As far as I know, the article is usually omitted, but I found these:
- On a second thought, there's no real need.
- On a second thought, let's stay at home and watch a movie.
Of course, the inclusion of the indefinite article doesn't change much (if anything), but I think it might sound odd to quite a lot of people. What do you think?
Thank you.
