The word "the" often appears accidentally duplicated, both in regular and doxygen formatted comments.

Slightly off-topic 😸: The The is actually one of my favorite bands of the eighties... and they are going on tour again!!!

My wife, who was born in Taiwan, is always asking what's the point of articles and grammar? She thinks it's a waste of time, being a Taiwanese/Chinese speaker.

Being a Slavic speaker, I frequently swallow articles too. Less so recently, with AI spell checkers which let me know when I forget them 😄

@dave3d @dzenanz Based on your comments, I'm now considering a pull request to just remove all "the"'s from the source tree, not just "the the" and "the the the". 😸
