In the original French it would be Le Dansant, and une bibliotechniciane
francais would also ignore the "Le" so I have no problem ignoring the "THE",
there are of course going to be exceptions as someone already mentioned "The A
to Z Guide..." would of course be an exception as would the children's alphabet
book "A to Z". However fixing those handful of rare exception is quicker and
far easier than the other option when half or more of all Titles begin with an
article either "The", "An" or "A".
