chart

I don't like reading Chart. (Yes, I treat Chart like a language and give it no article. You wouldn't say "the English" would you?)

I like reading the dialect of Chart known as Colorwork. But I don't like reading Cable Chart. I get all right-left dyslexic and spend 15 minutes trying to see if anyone else has found the error in the chart before I realize that, yes, it is possible to do that there because "there" is at the end of the right side row, even though you think it's at the beginning.

Also, after this project, I'm never going back to fingering weight twists. Full cables, maybe. But not this tiny little twisty stuff. Too bad this project is four pieces riddled with twists and I'm only just [attempting] finishing the first piece.

Well, I wouldn't say 'the English,' but some people say 'the Gaelic.' Just sayin' -

"You will not be having the twa talks? I will be meaning the Gaelic." (From the second Emily book.)

I've never seen (the) Gaelic referred to as "the twa talks" anywhere else....
