If you have ever read the 1611 King James Bible, all those words in italics are that way because they do not exist in the original languages. Verbs of being are nearly non existent in Hebrew. Double (and even triple) negatives are allowed in Greek.
I am, after all, a genuine Bible College drop out.
As far as "the" goes, some seem to work and others don't.
Workie: The United States, the Philippines, the Netherlands
Not Workie: The France, the Great Britain, the Brazil
But back to spammers: There has been a serious uptick in malicious internet activity from former USSR states, esp. Russia, towards U.S. interests. Have spent much time this week blocking great swaths of IP addresses from these regions. Plus a few Chinese and Koreans.
I'd rather spend my time on here goofing off with you guys.
