Yes but I believe there is a difference, it's the same word "a", but with different meaning. And what matters is the meaning of the word, not just the word used. You see, that's what matters, in this matter. Also, unrelated, liquids are a state of matter.
If I tell you "you can take a cupcake", that doesn't mean you can take ALL the cookies. It means you can take one. And if I say "a cupcake is a pastry", that doesn't mean that only ONE cupcake is a pastry. It means that all cupcakes are pastries.
