(Which is your right - see my rant on ffmpeg-cvslog not long ago.)

Something like that, yeah. I might have a different opinion about the
phrase "an internet" (indefinite article, generic noun), but not about
the phrase "the Internet" (definite article, proper noun).

I'm just often not very good at teasing out the *reasons* why I object
to something. With me, except in some types of pure abstract
(mathematics and so forth), almost everything is often just a matter of
what does and does not feel right.
