Talk:Arale

I have a question! You modified the sentence "She is also one of the few users of "coldfire"" so that it became "She is also one of the few users of the "coldfire"", the difference being that you added a "the" before "coldfire". However, in most cases I do not believe this would be correct. (But there are a few cases where it would be correct.)

In particular, if I was talking about her using just plain old magic it would be "She is also one of the few users of magic", not "She is also one of the few users of the magic", or if she was using electricity it would be "She is also one of the few users of electricity", not "She is one of the few users of the electricity". But compare that to if she used the ocean: "She is also on of the few users of the ocean", not "She is also one of the few users of ocean".

Basically, is "coldfire" a descriptive name like "magic", or is it a descriptive name like "ocean" is? --Oldman40k2003 14:36, 7 November 2007 (PST)

That would be like "magic". You are totally right on this, I can see it with your comparison ^_^ My mistake, it's because in my language I would tend to add the "the" XD
