Default Re: "Thuh" or "Thee"

Canadians definitely say thuh before a consonant and thee before a vowel - however I do notice on television and in films that many Americans seem to use thuh exclusively. So I would say that you need to tell students to pay attention to the usage in the region where you live.(because, here, a person who uses only thuh, sounds uneducated)
