@ Favre1fan93: I would definitely drop the "the" in this case, but I can't seem to find a definite rule for Americans, as it seems to vary between nouns and even speakers. The problem here, is that "the hospital" tells me that there is a specific hospital that I have missed earlier in the narrative, or that there is only one posible hospital (which is deffinitely not the case). Not even "a hospital" seems appropriate, as that puts emphasis on the fact that it could be any place, rather than just the idea of hospital in general. If I say that I am going to the hospital, I am talking about my local hospital, the only logical one that I could get to, or if I had already been talking about a different hospital then that is what I am talking about. If I just talk about hospital, then I am just talking about the idea of hospital, and so the actual location isn't really important. Similarly, I would just say "I am going to church", or "I am going to school", or "I am going to work", and if specifics are needed then I could clarify afterwards. - adamstom97 ( talk) 03:13, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
There should be an article in front of "hospital". British English would typically say "Go to hospital", but American English uses an article in front of that location. There are exceptions yes, like "Go to school", but that isn't the case with "hospital". This page points out the difference, specifically for hospital too.

The character Malcolm is never referred to by his family name Ducasse in the show. Hard to understand why some editors think it is somehow more professional or whatever to refer to the character by a name that isn't used except in credits. Makes the page very confusing. older ≠ wiser 01:24, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
