minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•edit-22 months agoWe have that here too. I found what I was referring to: In British English, the word hospital can appear as a noncount noun, without the article a or the before it, in certain phrases: (British English):He’s in hospital.= (American English):He’s in a hospital or He’s in the hospital. I want to add Canadian English goes with the latter too.
