Could it be that there are two articles in a row in a sentence?
I believe this question is really stupid, but could it be that there are two articles in a row in a sentence? I.e. "This is an a little bit odd way to say [...]". As far as I remember "an a" is completely wrong, but somehow this sentence simply doesn't sound right to me without this "an".

Question

Answer

Try saying: "This is a little bit of an odd way to say [...]".

Answer

I think in your example, the article is also the subject. Eg:  You put an "a" before that noun. Where is the "the"?

Note I used quotation marks to show the article is not functioning as an article. ;)

Edit: whoops, bad that I didn't read the example properly! Daniel's given the proper rewrite. ^^

Answer

heh ) 
articles and possessive pronouns like "his" or "her" are DETERMINERS - there can not be more than one of them before a noun due to the English grammar :)
