The

Definite article. Very strange what we consider "the" of something. When one things of the Ultimate Pill, a Pill that would change ones life forever, what do you think that would be? Life extension pill? Extreme happiness pill? Increased health pill? Sliced bread pill? Nope, all wrong. The Pill, the one we apply the definite article to is the one that lets one have sex with a reduced chance of pregnancy. When someone says "I'm on the pill", we all know what that means. Is that really the ultimate pill, the one that makes us define all others by name? Wow.

What about The The? What is the ultimate ultimate? Obviously sliced bread. I think this blog entry is stretching The Limits of what is The Correct usage of The Words I've chosen to use, kind of like using The Whole Fist.
