When i look up the word"sheer" in the 7th edition oxford advanced learner's English-Chinese Dictionary,it gives me an example sentence"The concert was sheer delight",but i think there should be an indefinite article "a" before "delight",because i think it's more reasonable that "delight" means something that gives you great pleasure here,and it should be used as a countable noun.
