What about the Hague? The Crimea?

: You are allowed your opinion but that doesn't necessarily make it a correct one.
: The only way it would sound correct is if the name denoted plural. Example Canada is singular therefore no "The". Ukraine is singular, therefore no "the"... British Isles denotes plural therefore "the" in front is grammatically correct.
: Say it correctly or don't say it at all and whether or not you have any faith in me is of little concern to me.

: : Hmmm... just a thought. If "ALMOST EVERY" customer you get do say THE Ukraine, maybe you should consider that they could be right...

: : FYI: although more and more people do seem to drop the definite article, grammatically it is still correct to keep it there. Sorry RJ, but in this issue I have more confidence in both Webster's Dictionary and Oxford Advanced than in you. :-)

: : : I am sure it was just a slip on their part but I am glad there was a mini forum here on the question. Almost every customer I get refers to it as "The Ukraine" and that is hard on the ears.
