Is this sentence correct?

Post by Kraizy »

Hi there,

New to the forums, need help with a sentence and can't find my answer anywhere else.

Just need to know if this is proper grammar of if I need to remove a word or two.

"John Doe incurred an auto-failure for a one spelling error."

I feel that the 'a' should be removed but when I asked some friends I got mixed replies. Any help would be appreciated. :-)
