• one
• two
• three

Note to self: adjust CSS on footnote markers

I never realised that before, but that makes sense, though your original sentence reads just fine to me either way.

On a related note, there is one other noun – “Universe” – which some have argued should never be used with the definite or indefinite article. Discuss!

Done.
