Usage[edit]

Are you sure the definite article is used more often than indefinite? I would only use the definite article when expressing the idea of the selection of an element from a set with cardinality one. Most of the time, I dial a wrong number. — This unsigned comment was added by 99.183.237.29 (talk) at 00:15, 12 May 2014 (UTC).[reply]
