Grammar
People will say 'the culture of a country or area', but not 'the culture of a country or an area', why?
Is there some grammar can explanate this?

Hello, FlushRain - and welcome to English Forums. In future, please put any text being considered inside this message box and not just in the thread title, because it is difficult to read a long thread title while answering you. 'the culture of a country or area', 'the culture of a country or an area' Both of those phrases are fine.

- If two nouns in a list take the same determiner (here, 'a/an') then the second can often be omitted, in either conversation or written English.
