“I work for NATO” or “I work for the NATO”?
Posted by Sunil Jose on October 8, 2009
Well known organisations like the United Nations, British Broadcasting Corporation and Federal Bureau of Investigation are usually preceded by the definite article. The article is used even when the names have been abbreviated. If the abbreviated form of an organisation can be pronounced as a word, then the article is not required. For example, NATO and OPEC are usually pronounced as a word. In such cases, the article is not required. Therefore the answer to the question is, “I work for NATO”.
