Okay, fine, I give up. I admit, I'm lonely. Happy?

Studying for an Italian exam and proof-reading a Master's Thesis in English simultaneously is a bit tricky. In Italian almost all nouns get a definite article (il tavolo, l'uomo, la luna), and this messes up my sense of English articles and I try to fit in 'the' everywhere and then remind myself that the English language article rules are teeny weeny more difficult than those in Italian.
