Hi,

 I have this phrase, "a matter of something," and want to ask you if the nouns which are represented as "something" in the preceding reference don't take any articles -- not ever. All nouns below except choice seem to be uncountable nouns.

a matter of opinion

a matter of choice

a matter of honesty

a matter of trust
