Comments That Don't Warrant A Thread

Cows are awesome. They make milk, steak, and Chickafila commercials out of nothing but some hay and water. How do they find time? I don't know, but they do and they deserve a moment of recognition.

Moo, cow, moo!

I think we all figured that out already. It's a fun thread to read. You should try the "what are you listening to" one next (although youtube has removed a lot of the links).

This year I've purchased tickets to 92 MLB games in addition to the 25 games that comes with my Tech season tickets. This doesn't include the countless MiLB games I will attend if Jericho returns to Daytona. Hi, I'm Joseph, and I'm a baseballaholic.

Price Is Right..many an day spent with my Mamaw. Here's your answer. Almost as nostalgic as the MASH theme song for me.

Actually, the rule applies to the word that a or an modifies and not really the word that's directly behind it. In other words, historical is an adjective just like a or an and both, historical and a/an, modify moment. Since moment begins with a consonant sound, the correct choice would be a since, as you've pointed out, words with a silent h or vowel sound are modified by an.

A/An are both articles, not adjectives. The rule is actually that a i used when the article is modifying a word that begins with a connsonant sound. An is used when modifying a word that begins with a vowel sound.

It's difficult to fail when you're honest with those around you. Being honest with others and yourself makes it nearly impossible.

Dude! Wasn't this from like two yeas ago? Nevertheless, thanks for proving Dirtydawg wrong again.

Now please go into the usage of the word "the" and when it should be pronounced thee (long e). We've got some radio folks that need to be brushed up on that one.

...and you only have to remember half as much.:icon_wink: I think Abe Lincoln said that.

Thee is used when refering to a person. It is like thou or thine. THE is an article like a/an.
EX: Might I take thee to a movie. (some refer to it as Queen's English)
I will take you to the movie.

Also yes it most likely was from that long ago. As I mentioned in a post just a few above this one. I'm just discovering this thread and working my way through reading them.

No I'm talking about pronunciation of the word "the" as it should be pronounced when preceding a word beginning with a vowel or a vowel sound...similar to a/an you discussed earlier.
