Yeah, no propaganda there.

Noice! Too bad the artist missed the "The"...pffffft.

I think these were unofficial translations from the original Norwegian - that might be why ?

I rarely say the "The" part in spoken English.

Blasphemer!

"I bought a new The Sisters bootleg"? No, sounds wrong.

You got a point there. But whenever a next one will arrive...yes; I will buy the latest The Sisters Of Mercy record....

"Do you like The Sisters of Mercy?"

"Yes I am a fan of The Sisters"

On the other hand...

"Are you a Sisters of Mercy fan?"

"Yes, I go to every Sisters gig I can get to"

Is also acceptable.

But then again.

"The new album by Sisters of Mercy is good" is bad

Whereas

"The new Sisters of Mercy album is bad" is good.

Rev'rnd!

Hahahaha! Right on!

a designer speaks:



thank you

Yes, thank you. It's a pet peeve of mine when people don't capitalise the "Of" in The Sisters Of Mercy

See also:



Consistency in capitalisation, please.

Mark, James, please, Get out More.

Do it right or don't do it at all, I say...

This sounds like those impossible sentences from old English grammar books. If Mr Brown had a plane, he would fly all over the world.
According to modern standards of teaching, which tend to be based on real-life situations, it should go like this:

"The new album by Sisters of Mercy appeared in my dream last night" is bad

Whereas

"The new Sisters of Mercy album will be released as soon as all the pigs on Earth pass their pilotage exam" is good.

Oi, stop cross-threading yer topics, Mod!

I read Nemi every morning in the Metro, how did I miss this one?!

Same here - I love the fact that big chunks of the population occasionally get black metal jokes and in-references with their journey to work. I've seen The Sisters, Mayhem, Burzum and Immortal mentioned up to now, and a few visual gags based on inverted crosses and corpsepaint

All things considered, Leonard Cohen never used 'the' on his sleeves I think. Neither do the Nuns order the name came from, as far as I can see. All academical anyway...
