Take the tour ×  Sometimes a and the take too much space in a
slide, and I delete all of them to save me extra lines.  Is it a

Answers  up vote 3 down vote accepted  There's nothing wrong
with this: it's common practice in news headlines, and native
speakers will find a well-worded sentence perfectly intelligible
if the articles are removed. You must be careful about your
choice of words, however, to avoid negatively affecting the
clarity of your writing. It's probably not a problem as long as
the text is relatively short, and presentation slides shouldn't
have a lot of text, anyway.  Also, if you're going to remove any
of the articles, you should probably remove all of them,
otherwise it looks awkward, and might be interpreted as an
error.  share|improve this answer add comment  Yes, this is
