Hello, my dear friends.I read somewhere on the Internet about "an information era". We all know that the word "information" is uncountable, and also we know that we should use 'a, an" with countable nouns. How can "an information era" be correct?I am sure "information era" is correct, but I have a doubt that "an information era" is correct.My question is here, please:Is "an information era" correct grammatically or not, please?If yes, why?Thanks in advance,Bijan

Dear Bijan! There is nothing to forgive! You have just made me laugh. Well, "a native speaker teacher" is incorrect. You should say either "a native speaker" or "a teacher speaking English as the first language" or "an English speaking teacher". That is the way we learn. I am learning Russian now and I ask the same questions.
Well, I will explain you one more thing. You haven't done anything wrong or bad. So, your excuse should have been just "Sorry".
I tell my wife "Forgive me!" if I don't come home and don't call her and she is about to file divorce. Hahaha!
I had a big mistake in my writing because English grammar is very complicated.
I wanted to tell you:
You are a real native speaker teacher.
Is it correct grammatically, please?
Yes, I am a native speaker. That is correct. But a native teacher...! WOW! I can't even imagine what it means! No problems! Everything is OK. We are here to explain your mistakes or doubts. Bijan said:

Hahaha! I have never been called "a native teacher"! Sounds so funny!
Well, I think you have got my idea.

Thank you for great explanation. I was surprised about the above noun phrase.
I would like to tell you that you are a real native teacher.
I understand from your answer that we should use "an" because of an adjective "information" (and also an interesting book).
Thus, we should use "an" before each uncountable noun if it will act similar to the adjective.
Am I correct, please?
Dear Bijan! "An information era" is correct.
In this noun phrase, ERA is a countable noun. INFORMATION is used as an adjective. So, everything is OK.
I hope, you know that "an interesting book" is correct although INTERESTING is an adjective.
Unfortunately, you didn't copy the full sentence and I can't tell you, if we need "an" or "the".
If you need more explanations, just ask again.
