Men want change too
Hi, I have to analize an article entitled 'Men want change too', my question is: Why is not 'Men want a change too'? Does this have an extra meaning that I'm not grasping?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi A-Stars,
I need a change in my life. I think I will quit my job and live on a desert island.
That's odd. I'm thinking of leaving my desert island and getting a job.
