Why is there an “a” in the sentence?

It should be "As her manager" or if she stuttered "But as, uh, her manager" and the autogenerated captions changed "uh" to "a" since they have the same pronunciation.

Typo, she didn't mispeak in the video

Text in memes is frequently erroneous.

It looks like a typo

Either a caption error or she misspoke. Hard to tell without the audio

There shouldn't be.

Either a mistype in the caption or she restarted her sentence. Not grammatical  by any means

It’s a mistake in the captions. You could use “as a manager” or “as her manager”.

It's either a typo or a slip of the tongue, and not grammatically correct.

I'm not a native speaker but I would say "as her manager" too... 

"As her manager" is correct. Either she misspoke or the subtitle is wrong.

Either she misspoke or the captions messed up. It should not be there.

Mispoke or wrong captions

It's ungrammatical, unless "her manager" is the title, and not just "manager" (does that make sense, other English speakers?)

Typo

Because some people aren't smart.

Don't rely on subtitles to learn languages. They are almost always full of gabage that will confuse rather than teach. I pine for deaf people who have no choice. Bad subtitles completely change the meaning sometimes

Looks like a typo, or they changed what they were saying while they were saying it and ended with an extra word.

Either a mistype or they actually captioned her filler sound. As her 'aaa' manager. As her 'um' manager. Something like that.

This appears to be a transcription or speaking error. There should not be an article there.

maybe she's quoting? as a "her manager". it's grammatically correct because once you enclose or quote a phrase or word, it's considered singular, hence "a".

She's channeling Super Mario.

Still dying for the punchline…. ”but as her manager…” what?!!

Because every meme is required to have a typo.

Captioning error

It’s an error

She only manages "hers" no "his"

Typo.

Either a brain fart (like going in one direction with the sentence but then deciding to taking another), bad machine subtitling or a typo.

It works like, "a her-manager"

Probably should be “But as her, uh, manager…” this is an utterance when you need a moment to collect your thought before continuing the sentence.

holy shit r/memes fell off

🤌

I saw this meme earlier and did not even notice the extra 'a.' I think my brain ignored it for me because the sentence makes no sense with it there an makes perfect sense with it not there.

Because it's wrong.

i went back and heard it https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ec4yB1m9qbM it's a typo in the captions

It was probably just a verbal “uh” but got translated as “a”

yeah, that’s 100% grammatically incorrect. just a typo they forgot to correct.

Firstly everyone else is right, it's incorrect, and is also a typo because she actually says "as her manager". That said, "as a her manager" is really fun phrasing and I kind of love it.

She might have changed what she was going to say mid-sentence.

just imagine an Italian accent.


/joke She's Italian like a-Mario

the subtitles probably misunderstood a filler sound(um/er/ah/uh) things people will say to fill gaps in speech or to give themselves time to think

This is parallelism for the sake of humor. As a *mother*, I wanted this. As a *her manager*, I had to take a different approach. It's not strictly grammatical, but it isn't a mistake, it's intended to be humorous.

As others have said, it’s a mistake in the caption or she restarted the sentence. Regardless, don’t rely on shows like these to learn proper English.

just watched this video, she says “but as her manager”. so its a typo in the subtitles

It looks like if the caption is correct an intentionally ungrammatical phrase "a her manager" for comedic effect because 2 determiners like "a" and "her" are not allowed here in the noun phrase; it's either "a manager" or "her manager". However, it seems to contrast "a mother" as a generic type of role with "a [her manager]" that makes it sound like a different generic role (in this case a job), like "It's not in my role of a mother to her but in my role as a manager to her."

It looks like an error in the subtitles.

It's either an error in the subtitles or it's a verbal repair (basically, what you do when you decide your sentence is going the wrong way and back up to change it) which happens all the time and everyone does in spontaneous unscripted speech.

That's an artifact of the subtitling process. She either said 'uh' or 'ah' and the sub-titler, whether voice-to-speech or an actual human, typed "a" when transcribing it.

She probably said "uh." This is a common error with captions and transcribers. Either that or she changed focus and there should be an em dash between "a" and "her."

Typo. Simply

Could have been and “uh”, as in a filler sound while she was thinking of what to say. If it was a computer doing the transcription it may not have written it correctly. Hard to tell without the audio, though.

Maybe "as a manager of her" would be correct?

What's the next sentence? Why did she watch it? What's going on?

They originally intended to write “But as a manager” but realized she said as HER manager. Then they forgot to remove the a. It’s an error

It’s a rare grammar point also found in “It’s a me, Mario”

There shouldn't be, its a typo. In the clip she's very clear about what she's saying there's not even a pause where the 'a' could go lol

Because the captioning failed.

The person being interviewed is Mario. Mama mia

As-a her manager 😌🤌
