Depends on what "the" means

Getting caught up, again, on a few days' posts. I know the day, as a whole, is still the same 24hrs, but why does it seem like they're getting shorter for real? Oh, well, just a few weeks until the solstice.

The last poster: That awkward moment when you spell a word correctly...?

Back before computers, when I still hand-lettered my comics, sometimes, tired, and weary from attempting my careful calligraphy, I could get stuck wondering if I'd spelled "the" correctly. Too close to the material.

Say, you know what? I'll bet that's what happened to poor old President Clinton when he forgot the meaning of "is." :D
