| Mar 25, 2018 at 2:30 | comment | added | Stam a Yid | I don't think there is a way to know for sure. Their may have been other Rambams in history that we just don't know about. In terms of how I think it developed, I believe that people got so used to addressing them in a grammatically improper fashion that the trend just stuck. As with languages, one person with a lisp can lead to the creation of a whole new language. | |

| Mar 25, 2018 at 2:27 | comment | added | Alex | The question was why people often refer to some rabbis with the word "the". Your answer just asserts that it is not grammatically correct but it doesn't answer the question. | |
