The the keyword is mandatory before the names of built-in functions, 
unless the parentheses form of the function is used:

   get the time -- must use "the" if () are not used
   get time()   -- cannot use "the" if () are used

The the keyword is optional before the names of properties, but it is 
good style to include it.

(This is from the documentation.)

"is" is a synonym for the "=" operator.
