It seems to be a common misconception that words can mean whatever you want. They obviously don't, because we are communicating successfully.
There are laws ruling how to interpret text, that's why we can understand eachother. In this case, those laws state that, due to the lack of quotation marks, the question wasn't asking about the words "the alfabet", but instead the "alfabet" as a noun and "the" to tell that it's a specific alfabet.
And this is where our disagreement lies. I say we just let it be. I'll interpret it how I want to, and so will you. I am too stubborn to change my opinion, and you yours, ergo it is pointless for us to argue over it.
This is the point I was trying to make. You don't know the difference between an opinion an a fact. I blame todays education, forcing people to have opinions and neglecting facts.
Saying that something is a fact is in itself an opinion.

I'm curious: Are us English the only people who spell it 'alphabet?'
