But they would say "I looked it up in the encyclopaedia" - maybe they think "wiki" is just some weird web term, so it would be like saying "I looked it up in the weblopaedia" or something. Rather than realising there is *one* Wikipedia. ?
The French, sticklers for definite articles, say 'sur Internet', where we say 'on the Internet'. Don't expect logic. BTW I thought wiki was a Weird Web Term. Roll on the real WWW (World Wide Wiki).
