 For some time now, one of my biggest pet peeves has been the lack of article usage in certain articles (i.e. : a, the, an, etc.)
I've seen countless sentences written here that leave a foul taste on my tongue because of this, examples being :
- Riku Replica is a replica made by Vexen from Riku's combat data.
- Land Armor is an Emblem Heartless found in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
- Ultima Weapon is a Keyblade obtained through item synthesis.
While the preferred method would be :
- The Riku Replica is a replica made by Vexen from Riku's combat data.
- The Land Armor is an Emblem Heartless from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
- The Ultima Weapon is a Keyblade obtained through item synthesis.
The only reason I bring this issue up is because everywhere else I look (in-game, guidebooks, interviews, etc.), they put articles before everything in the Enemy, Weapon, and (in Riku Replica's case) Character categories. There also seems to be an issue regarding which articles are used. Some users suggest things be phrased like :
- A Land Armor is an Emblem Heartless from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
I personally think "the" sounds better. It's also grammatically correct. True, "a" also works, but I've seen "the" used a lot more often, considering "a" would only work with Heartless. I suppose "the" would be used if there was only one of something, like the Guard Armor, the Ultima Weapon, or the Riku Replica, and "a" could be used for things that have more than one member, such as the Shadows, Dusks, and Floods (the Shadow-like Unversed for those who don't know all ready).
Sometimes, articles don't even have to be used. All we have to do is make the bolded text at the start of the article plural, but that screws up how it matches the title :
- Shadows are the weakest Pureblood Heartless.
Regardless of what we decide, it should be carried throughout the article, not just for one section. This should also be added to the new MoS once we reach a verdict.
