  I only said anything at all because ThePowerOfFuet a) posted the exact same reply twice to different comments and b) rather than giving a personal explanation, linked to an article that is neither succinct nor does a good job of explaining the issue. I have made a simmilar remark to bot-style corrections of "the Ukraine" perhaps once in the past year. I also did not downvote, flag or otherwise discourage ThePowerOfFuet's comments, only point out that formulaic responses to perceived politically incorrect language are perhaps not that productive. You are free to disregard my comment if you do not feel you get any value from it. And as for the original comment otherwise being perfect english, that doesn't mean much. You can be fluent enough to write a ten-word sentence but still get some details slightly wrong. And I'm not saying that steponlego specifically is not a native speaker, only mentioning that in general use of "the" where it should not be can easily be a second language issue rather than intentional.
