"Thuh" and "uh" versus "thee" and "ay"
5 years ago
Why does everyone talk like this nowadays? They say "thee" and "ay" in place of "thuh" and "uh." When the articles "the" or "a" occur before a word that starts with a consonant sound, they're pronounced "thuh" or "uh." If the word starts with a vowel sound, then it's "thee" or "ay." When you say "thee" or "ay" all the time, it sounds annoying and robotic, thereby possibly promoting disinterest in the listener. I minored in business management in college and I had to take a public speaking course, so this isn't me imposing my opinion on others. This is the objective "STANDARD" (spoken in Jack Scepticeye's Papyrus voice).

It's sort of a Kermit the Frog way of speaking. It's irritating to listen to.

I mean, it's okay when Kermit does it. But when you're listening to someone give a didactic diatribe, it's important for them to have a decent amount of skill points in their speech. Btw, did you know there are two forms of stuttering? Developmental and psychogenic. "Psychogenic" means "originating in the mind." That form of stuttering is caused by acute or chronic trauma severe enough to alter the geography of the brain.
