For goodness sake, people, please stop using "the" in your thread headlines and posts! We're all sick of it!

It's in everyone's best interest to be concise, perhaps at the expense of being comprehensible.

has been so overused here I completely ignore it, because it's almost never true to the factual meaning of them. It's just people screaming at the sky.

Even little kids are yelling it without a blink.

I'm not a prude at all and consider my second language and my reluctant computer has heard all the conjugations many times.

Starting with "Trump."

I also block and ignore news and opinion videos, which are often promoted with hyperbole.
