Re: Re: to The or not to The.....

I agree. I'm having a similar issue here. Everyone wants to
prepend "the" to the product name. My edit finger's getting
itchy! <g>

You don't say "I used the Microsoft Word to type this" or
"My mail application is the Microsoft Outlook" or "I created this in the Corel DRAW", so why would you add "the" to /your/ product name?
