Here's a hymn to Italian Food: The mortadella’s smoky flavour Is one I’m delighted to savour; So don’t mewl or puke If that’s what I cook Try it – it’s bound to find favour!

Make that gorgon beech cite the rule for the spoken use of "thee" or "thuh" for the written "the". As for me here is a song by Rice Miller I use as a mnemonic...* There was an animal called the goat, he butted his way on the Supreme Court "Let him go, please, please, let him go" 'cause he worked so hard you can't use him in yo' court no mo' Judge give him five hours to get out of town, he got five miles down the road and committed another crime That's when the high sheriff happened to be caming along, and caught the billy goat eating up the old farmer's corn High sheriff takes the billy goat to the county jail, but the desk sergeant said "I'll go his bail" Let him go. * thee thuh

Only one of those "the"s is usually thee, and you marked it with the wrong color, if I'm interpreting your legend correctly. _________________________ formerly known as etaoin...

Only one of those "the"s is usually thee, and you marked it with the wrong color, if I'm interpreting your legend correctly. I dunno Buffalo, I guess it is worth whatever you determine. I used Rice Miller's lyrics to suggest determinates for the two everyday enunciations of the word "the"... 1) our regional and local manners of speaking 2) the as thee specific directive and the as thuh not-so specific 3) thuh casual as opposed to thee formal 4) for lyrical reasons But mainly to emphasize that there are no rules for correctly pronouncing "the". _______________________________________________ TRUMP - TRYST Edited by jenny jenny (03/11/13 11:09 AM) Edit Reason: to continue Sparta's Game
