Examples
.
The family keeps up an old tradition.
.
Every people has its own traditions.
.
That village's tradition is very ancient.
A is a practice handed down; a is a habit one person happens to have. The distinction matters because English lets "tradition" slide towards routine, and Esperanto does not: a needs somebody to have handed it over.
