I see it frequently here... I suppose it comes from French.
Viola means rape(il la viola) or break the law(il viola la loi).
The real one is voilà!
And dropping the accent, is apparently acceptable in English. Voila! ;)
Voila, behold a viola! One fourth of a string quartet!
But if you're irked by "viola", it could be worse, they could have written "wallah", which is all too frequent.
Or a flower.
Are you mixing French and Italian articles?
As an addendum wiktionary[0] is always useful when searching other meanings of a word
I haven't learned French since high school, but here's how I would translate the examples:
il la viola "He raped her"
il viola la loi "He broke the law"
