I am fine either way. However, I strongly agree that if you want to
change this, it should be squashed.
It is too trivial a commit in my view to stand on its own.
Note that the subtleties of article usage in English are tough even
for native English speakers,
and are glossed over by most of us while reading quickly (which is why
I did not understand the patch initially).
