Well, Manfred, given the often satirical/mocking responses to questions like this on the Lounge, I thought I was doing the OP a favor by suggesting they repost on QA.
But, if I did a dis-service to the OP, I apologize.
And, yes, of course you are right about the fact that some folks can post certain types of content on the Lounge and get serious responses/discussions, whereas others posting the same types of content can get dumped on.
I am not sure if it's a sign of wisdom or just a fungus-of-blase-indifference to the inherent injustice of social groups [1] growing on my aging soul that this doesn't bother me 
cheers, Bill
[1] The school of psychotherapy I once trained in, and was certified in, Psychodrama, was invented by J.L. Moreno, a fascinating character who was both dramaturge, technical inventor, artist, poet, social scientist. Moreno believed that human social groups were innately "unjust" in that the perceived authority to regulate and shape interaction ... bottom-line: who gets paid attention to ... tended to become concentrated in a few individuals or dyads.

I wouldn't mind reposting somewhere else, but I don't see a forum for general "how to use a computer" questions.

Well, that one helps prove their point.

I must be missing something very basic here, but I fail to find any info on how many articles there are.

I believe the correct answer is "many".

It is indeed a correct answer, especially if you're a walpiri or a piraha.

Upvoted for mentioning the Waripiri and Piraha ! The innate-language-engine vs. culturally-shaped debate between Chomsky/Pinkert and Everett is fascinating to me, as well as involving a question that haunts me (as a poet and creative writer): can there be thought without language ?: [^].

That would depend on your definitions.
Let's break the question apart: Can there be thought without (abstract) concepts?
And how about memory?
Most people have their first memories from about the age of three which also happens to be when we develop a useful language.
I've read once that Helen Kellers first memories is from when she learned a language at the age of six-seven. It's pretty hard to check any facts about that though. A lot of her life/memoirs seems to be "sanitized".
But then there's this school for deaf children in Nicaragua, which started off as a "storage facility", where the children themselves invented a sign language without any intervention from the caretakers. When linguistic researchers found out about that they got so excited they figuratively pissed their collective pants.
I've read that none of the children have any memories from before learning a language. confirmation needed
Interesting? Yes indeed.

Articles, the Greek? I doubt that name is very common nowadays.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Search with a single * (and the needed filters on the left) to get a number of items.
Not sure if it is accurate, but it is a place to start.
EDIT: I get 36,808 with only articles selected.

Oh well, no big deal, just stop in the IDE and restart/continue...not so fast! I'm now showing errors regarding one of the code-behind files. I tried to open it to see WTE is going on but it refuses to open, even in notepad. 
I know it's not locked 'cause it let me change the extension. Luckily, I have a backup from Friday of last week and most of the work today was done in the aspx file. 
And no, the project is not under sc.
