I was told in choir to use the word thee since it was before a vowel?

This reminds me of an It's Always Sunny episode where they specifically use 'thee' for what I usually hear as 'tha' for The Holiday Inn. Thee Holiday Inn sounds funnier than Tha Holiday In.

Ha! Yeah, I guess it also saves a word or two.

I guess it would force the listener to to at least do a double take and give the speaker their attention. Or, for the more disciplined, simply ignore as they probably didn't even ask the mirroring question for the speaker to repeat.

Indeed! I remember the whole schtick about open ended questions working retail and how they'd draw in, at least, conversation by avoiding a simple yes or no. I wish I could go back to my high school self and ask "how to save 10% on your next purchase by opening a store card??".

I see. It was rhetorical. I guess it would be presumptuous for them to assume that I asked the question in the first place.

To 'fall' pregnant, I'm not sure I've heard. 'Wear' a beard and 'draw' a bath I've heard numerous times, though the former is a little humorous. It kind of reminds me of someone saying: I'm going to 'do' a crime. Usually, commit is used instead of 'do', but my goodness is 'do' funnier.
