Would you like to give them the apple or the pear? ] Give Apple ] Give Pear Do you actually think this is an unacceptable and grammatically incorrect way of phrasing these provided options? > The "apple" in "give apple" is a direct object without preposition My apologies, you're correct. I mistyped—I should have said "indirect object". That does not negate any of the rest of what I said. |

Yes, I do.
That’s Sierra-like poorly phrased English to save characters in a constrained support. Completely incorrect in any context, inacceptable when you don’t have to save bits.
It’s only somewhat understandable because the zero article is used with proper name. Actually I find it interesting that you found the need to capitalise.
