MOSEPH!!! Or other smart linguist, preferably of the English variety!!!.....need help.
I am having a really super awesome fun argument with my GF. It's so exciting I have to make a freaking thread about it :puke:
Here's the question we need an answer to:
Is it grammatically correct to say "I am going to make a tea" or "I am going to make an ice cream"
Is this grammatically correct? Can one say this?
Help porfavor!
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

This is all over the place. Are you drunk?
*The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with the grammar, but without context, I have no idea what the issue is here.

Is the issue the “a” and “an”? Is that the debate?

I maintain it is correct, though abnormal. She vehemently disagrees.

There’s nothing grammatically wrong as long as you’re discussing a singular thing. I think your debate is either a regional or family dialect issue, not grammatical.

Correction:
She says the debate is do you say " make tea or a tea"....are either correct or incorrect

This isn’t a grammatical issue.

And do you say "I'm going to make an ice cream" or "I'm going to make a bowl of ice cream"

I’m guessing this is regional. Where is her family from? And yours? This is my guess.

This is her again... literally no one says "I'm going to make an ice cream"... what does that even mean?
Make "a" tea"... iced tea? Hot tea? Green tea? He is not representing this fairly. Don't be fooled!
It's not a grammatical argument, it's a "speak like a normal human argument" and I win
