Vocabulary
"With a passion" OR "With passion"
Hello,
I'd like to know what is the difference between "with passion" and "with a passion". I know you use "with a passion" when talking about what somebody likes (i.e. with a passion for Russian history), but in the following sentences i can't see the difference.
I hate something with a passion.
I hate something with passion.
To me, the first one sounds strange and wrong, while the second seems correct.
Any ideas, guys?
