My 0.18.1 correctly ignores the "The", but it doesn't handle German
articles - would be a nice touch if that's fixed in SVN. (Is it tied
to the language setting? "Die" is an article in German but obviously
not in English - it's the opposite for "An" which should be treated as
an article in English but not in German.)
