Replying to @JenniferJJacobs
The @VP again used the "thee" pronunciation for the word "the" when making a point. Some critics have claimed she appeared to adopt "a fake French accent" when she said "the plan" during a tour of a research lab on Tuesday. Today at Paris press conference, she said "the topic."

for instance, to emphasize that there is only one plan, or that this is the one that has been chosen, or the only one that works, one would tend to say "thee" plan.



but ignoring democrats and the substance of their communications to focus on made-up trivialities was always part of "thee" plan.

Vous serait-il possible d'écrire quelque chose sur la tentative de coup d'État en cours aux États-Unis ?

Mon Dieu!
