Word of the day: high

should I use "the two" or "the both" when I intend to refer two things I mention previously in my text?

I want to say something like "I am interested in gravity theory, gauge field theory and the duality between the two." or "I am interested in gravity theory, gauge field theory and the duality between the both." Which one is appropriate?

I mean to use "the two" or "the both" to refer to gravity theory and gauge field theory.

so "the two" is ok?

or should I just say "them" rather than "the two"?

Hi

@snailboat ok. thank you. can you explain why "the both" is ungrammatical here?

Is it ok to say smth like the following (especially the second part of the quiestion): "Do I need to wait for <smth> to be ready? Or they are required only for <smth>?"

@snailboat I'm glad they provided the TL;DR for me to skim through at the beginning.

Aptly titled as well.

I recently read an article on some website, and it said at the beginning, in a small font, parenthesized, how long it would take an average person to read it.

(I think. Maybe it was something else, but I tried my damnedest to beat the average Joe, while retaining all the important bits.)

(I succeeded, but it definitely wasn't easy.)

But anyway, I thought that was funny. Also, I know it's stupid, but only today have I realized that the length of the scrollbar bar (the element you drag) represents the height of the displayed page. Previously, to me, small movements of a longer bar meant less scrolling done, while movements of the same length of a tiny one meant more scrolling, but I never quite conceptualized it as the portion of the page currently shown. My mind is still blown.

I figured it out because in CLion, when you hover the cursor over the portion of the scrollbar the bar doesn't reach (i.e., the "empty" area), you're shown the lines that are there (which you can't normally see without scrolling to that place).

Haha!

I'll stop blogging. I promise.
