Amusing dialect stories.

[retep]

The, is generally contracted to t, and added to

the preceding or succeeding word ; as "at tend at wheel," "at the end of the wheel.

" When occurring between one word ending, and another beginning with t, it is omitted : as " at top" " at the top."

In fact there is no such word as "the" in Sheffieldish, "tut" is the nearest we get..
