Alternative spellings of "the"
This whole article is a disgrace to Wikipedia. Not only is it poorly written and completely unencyclopedic, put it is without a doubt the puriest example of unverified original research I've ever seen in my year here at Wiki. I tagged it or over a month ago, as well as adding "Is this whole article OR?? It has pretty much zero refs after all?" to the talk page, and the only edits since have been vandalism and the resulting reverts. Seriously, this has gotta go.

 * Delete because it's OR. other than that, it looks okay... M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 (T 18:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Original research, unencyclopedic list, unverifiable information…I could go on and on. We might as well have an article on all the typos I've made looking up articles. Delete, please. --Slowking Man 18:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete because most is OR, and the small bits that aren't are covered in wiktionary. --Interiot 19:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Pure rubbish, and full of inaccuracies and irrelevancies (e.g. "tha knows I've not got owt on tomorrow" - is a phonetic spelling of Yorkshire pronunciation of thou, not an alternative spelling of the).  Emeraude 00:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep I found it helpful because I'd never heard of Leet and I was wondering why everyone was spelling the "teh", so I searched "the google" for "wikipedia teh the" and this story came up and it was helpfu. 13:01, 24 October 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.137.64.130 (talk) 13:01, 24 October 2006 (UTC).

 * Merge with The. I see no signs of "original research", although something is to be desired in terms of citation. RandomCritic 18:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
