Fantastic article and topic! (Sorry. Pun totally unintended.) I've been going by the sound of the word since first grade, but I've been doubting myself the past 10 years. Thank you for the reinforcement.

Very informative article! Thank you! I've debated when to use the word 'the' in a sentence. When writing, sometimes a single sentence can have as many as three 'the's' but if I remove one, it just doesn't sound right? Can you possibly point me in the right direction to find out about the proper usage?

I'm not sure about the "the" issue, but perhaps you can officially ask this comm!

Thanks, much appreciated. I'm new around here and didn't know I could officially ask.
