Just FTR, we don't normally say "the algebra" or "the alcohol". We *do normally say "the hoi polloi".
But irregardless of that, those who weep and wail and rend their garments over such matters *know that hoi is Greek for the (although I doubt if one in ten could say what case, number, and gender); they parbly don't even bother to parse alcohol or algebra.
