Out of My Element

German Fact of the Day #17

In California, when speaking of the freeway by name, you use the definate article "The" to precede it.

Example: You wanna take The 10 or The 210 into LA.

When discussing fast food restaurants the definate article is dropped and an indefinate article is NOT substituted*.

Example: We can either go to Del Taco or In & Out Burger.


*The exception to this rule is when talking about a specific restuarant's location.

Examples: He lives in North Hollywood on Radford, near The In & Out Burger.

The In & Out Burger is on Camrose.

Near The In & Out Burger.

Those are good burgers, Walter.

Shut the fuck up, Donny!
