If you say "the indebted homeowner", it's implied that a homeowner is by definition indebted.
Exactly.
It doesn't imply that ALL homeowners are indebted. It implies "a" (as you have suggested) or a group is indebted. Your very own definition is backing me up. Just you probably didn't realise it.
Doubt anyone will back down on this, so will leave it now. Just seems so incredibly silly to be making such statements to try and put someone down.0 -

Given that you're a stickler for the correct use of the definite article ("the" BTW) I'd like to point out that it's not "your keeping him happy" but "you're keeping him happy".0 -

Who is this over indebted homeowner everyone is talking about? Does anyone know his name?
It's amazing, if true, that 'we' (the taxpaying population of the UK?) may spend an entire decade mollycoddling one person!. Outrageous!! :mad:0 -
