Now you want confusion, try to explain how and where to use "the" in English. If you say you live int THE Paris, you mean you live in Paris, France and not, let us say, Paris, Texas. However, how would you make that reference to The Hague (where "The" is part of the name)? And there are other confusing uses for "the", some of which are dialect variations.

As my wife, who is not a native English-speaker says, "English is sure a f**ked up language. You say you are "going to the store," but you are also "going to church." You go shopping, but you don't go eating. Etc., etc..
