Pull My Devil Trigger Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) What's wrong with EotSD? Dropping the "the" is weird English, since the of is abbreviated here. it doesn't even have that "the" it's "the Embodiement of Scarlet Devil", but that "the" is usually dropped besides if everyone already uses EoSD why would you want to use something different Edited November 4, 2014 by FaIa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) They're not abbreviations either They're initials It is true that sometimes prepositions are not used in initials/acronyms, but of course emphasis on "sometimes" I don't fully understand the pattern of when to or when to not include those words Edited November 4, 2014 by Freohr Datia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaze Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) it doesn't even have that "the" it's "the Embodiement of Scarlet Devil", but that "the" is usually dropped besides if everyone already uses EoSD why would you want to use something different Some things in English beginning with 'the' have the 'the' appended to the end with a comma. If you were to look it up in a library index you might get "Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, The". Edited November 4, 2014 by Makaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makaze Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 ? what does that have to do with it? I think the 'The' is removed when at the beginning of the title specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Nepos Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The full title is '東方紅魔郷 ～ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'. Disregarding the Japanese we are left with 'the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'. As Makaze noted, initial 'the' is omitted, making the initialism 'EoSD'.
