: Re: Overusing "the" and "I" I'm not a native English speaker, and I find that my English writing contains too many definite article "the" when writing scientific reports, and too many "I" when writing
"qualifier1 qualifier2 noun" is usually okay.
"qualifier1 qualifier2 qualifier3 noun" is usually not okay
Since it lays emphasis, "the" itself becomes a qualifier. Therefore, "the current policy" is okay, and "the current US policy" (or, worse still, "the current US military policy") is not. In that vein, "the US domestic market" is better stated as "US domestic market". Equally debatable but more acceptable from my standpoint is "the Mozilla website" : please note that the noun is not 'website', but simply 'site' : 'web' has been embedded in the noun as a permanent qualifier.
