Aug 16, 2012 at 23:07 comment added choster That's my point. There's only one letter separating America, Americas, and American, with concomitant risks of typographical errors and misreading.
Aug 16, 2012 at 22:55 comment added Luke_0 We're talking about "americas", not "american".
Aug 16, 2012 at 22:48 comment added choster Sorry, wrong link; I meant en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_(word)
Aug 16, 2012 at 22:39 comment added Luke_0 Nope, there are no other tags with "the" hanging in front of them. I don't see how "the" would prevent confusion. What confusion? It seemed pretty clear cut what the Americas were reading that article.
Aug 16, 2012 at 22:37 comment added T.E.D. Mod My problem with this is that the "the" looks realy superflous hanging there on the front like that. Do we even have any other tags with "the" in them?
