The Onion is just...good at this, aren't they?
This is The Beaverton good sir.
The either has to be italicized or lowercase, and it's such a little thing but it's driving me slightly mad.
Because both The Onion and The Beaverton have 'The' in their titles, the italics is emphasizing the difference between them... Though I don't know if that's correct, and on reread, it does bug me too.
No no no, it's like The Ohio State University
stop, please, I can't
Screw that I'm rooting for An Ohio State University. Go Kent State Dodgers!
But that’s how everyone says it!
Might make you less mad to read the italics as emphasis. because they're emphasizing just that word because, that's the one word that needed to be changed to correct the mistake.
