Like UK itself. Isn't UK an independent country?
- tom_ 1y agoThe UK. Spacibo!
- la_mezcla 1y ago"UK" is also correct, chap.
- tom_ 1y agoNo it isn't. When you deploy it as a noun, referring to the specific country, it needs the definite article. Some nouns, you can do without - but this noun, you can't.
- la_mezcla 1y agoIf I go find "UK" without "the" in any English newspaper or article, will you send me $10k? If there exists a rule that allows an omission of "the" for "UK" in certain context, will you send me $20k on top? If you aren't able to prove that in this context I speak formally rather than informally, and in the latter "the" may sometimes be omitted, will you send me $30k on top?
