<thinking>Let's approach this step-by-step:
Let us proceed through this systematically (CoT):

Step 1: How should we interpret the question prompting me to do?
Identify the amount of letter "a" in the word "Abecedarian"

Step 2: Break down the word.
A-B-E-C-E-D-A-R-I-R-N


Step 3: Oops, I made a mistake. The word I used above is incorrect. Let me correct that.
The correct word is "Abecedarian", not "abecedarirn". I apologize for the error.

Step 4: Let's continue with the correct word. Spell out the word with numbered positions:

1. A
2. B
3. E
4. C
5. E
6. D
7. A
8. R
9. I
10. A
11. N

Step 5: Find the positions of the letter "a".
The letter "a" appears at the 1st, 7th, 10th positions in the word.

Step 6: Quantify the letters.
A: 3, E: 2, R: 1, D: 1, I: 1, N: 1, B: 1, C: 1

Step 7: Evaluate the letters we enumerated.
The chosen letter was "a" and there we found 3 in all.</thinking>
