"The" French

The Associated Press spent "the" week apologizing for the one sin that requires no atonement whatsoever. Somebody who works at the AP decided that in one of their stories  they had referred to "the" French by a derogatory term. It's hard to imagine that such a term exists but in their mind, it does and they had offended "the" entire French world by using the offensive term. And the entire world, including "The" French, laughed at them. More classified documents,  more fun. More turkeys and "the" straws... All this week on What "The" Frock?
