    The is the inferred word and notably it doesn’t change the subject or idea if removed

    But it is not removed, it is replaced by “A”, an indefinite article. As in “Any system that satisfies the given condition is broken”.

    Words have meaning. You deciding to replace a word for a different word with a different meaning is you misreading. Not inference and everyone else misunderstanding.

    So no, the sentence is not talking about the US system specifically, but making an observation about governing systems in general. Which is what I and masterspace disagreed with.

      A system meaning the US system of government.

      Yes they all have meaning, in this case none of them change the subject or idea so either or none are acceptable. That’s just how English works and you’re not having the gotcha moment you seem to think you’re having.

        You are just wrong.

        in this case none of them change the subject or idea so either or none are acceptable.

        I explained how it changes the meaning.

        So no, the sentence is not talking about the US system specifically, but making an observation about governing systems in general.

        Read up on articles or stay ignorant, I don’t have anything more to say.

          Ok tell me in context what system are they talking about. I’ll wait.

          Except it doesn’t, explaining your feelings that don’t align with reality is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

          Tell me, what articles are you referring to that will somehow make what you’re saying less tedious or moreover less stupid.

            I already did multiple times, go reread my comments if you missed it or try meditating on them if you are unable to understand basic English on the first try.

              Then you agree with me guy, you disagree with me “always”. Have a look back and I won’t hold my breath for an apology.

                That is not even a valid sentence. I have no idea what it is supposed to mean.

                    I did not point out any of your previous mistakes, despite you pointing out mine. But this sentence is incomprehensible to me. Which is what I wrote. Yet instead of just clarifying, you choose to call me a “grammar Nazi”, in addition to your previous insults. If you can’t admit your are wrong/are unwilling to understand, than just end the discussion. What is the point of spewing nonsense and insults here?
