This might be my only chance to post anything for a couple days, but
I gotta ask -- Is "the store" pronounced as "thee store"?

Tom it's interesting the things you like to know. Truly! My formal
speech has a short e in 'the' before consonants and long e before
vowels. So it's

thuh store
thee inquisitive mind

:-) Personally, I'd love to hear everyone say something. Hear it, not see it.
