TF> Grammatically speaking your first sentence was correct:
Well actually Thomas, using 'the' definite article before an abstract noun,
might be considered grammatically incorrect in some circles - unless of
course it was used 'appropriately' as a metaphor. Sticking 'an' indefinite
article before the non-concrete noun would move the sentence slightly closer
to grammatical nirvana. Furthermore, as 'the' definite article has been used
in this case, one might also consider changing the other *case*, that of
'ideal world'. 'Ideal World' is also a proper noun in this context, and
therefore should have capitalised first letters......as should 'Virtual
Ticker (tm)'. Furthermore, and furthermore (uhumm), the 'verb' *will* is not
'associated' with 'ideal world'. 'virtual folder is the subject of the verb
agreement. The subject and predicate being Virtual Folder & *will*,
respectively, not Ideal World & *will*. However, I get your point! :)))))))))
No, I'm _not_ criticising what you typed Marck, and I promise that I won't
mention it again! I promise :)))))))))))). And no, I don't want an argument
on-list with you Thomas, :)))))))))).
