Grammar Q

When contrasting something would you say

1. On one hand... and on the other hand...

or

2. On THE one hand...and on the other hand...

or

3. Both sound OK

Thanks!

Number 1 sounds better to me, but I think they're both grammatically correct.

They're both grammatically correct. It's preference. I'd use option 2.

Both are correct; since the expression is idiomatic, I feel it has some leeway anyway.

Re: Grammar Q

A colleague was trying to convince me that 1 was wrong!

Thanks for your responses.
