the pronunciation of "the"

0Hi,02br
02br
00The rule regarding the pronunciation of "the" is such that it differs based on the word's sound - whether it is consonant-sounding or vowel-sounding. 02br
02br
00OK, but my question (sort of) is that in your educated guess, how people in those English speaking contries are conscious of that rule and make practice to use them? Don't give a number but do give me some rough percentages. 02br
02br
00Note: This is not a question involving polling. 0-
