Once upon a time the title used to be true of American English, but not anymore. Thirty years ago when my daughter was in high school, I often heard her say "to" as "tuh". Now I hear announcers and politicians saying "tuh".
Sometimes I think American English should be called Schwaglish after the name of the unaccented, obscure sound that has crept into so many words. For example, do you say "ahbscure" or "uhbscure" for "obscure"? Do you know anybody who says "ohbscure"?
Oh, well! Change always happens to languages. If not, why don't we pronounce the number after one as "tvoo" or some other two consonant version like "två", "zwei", or "dva", all used in modern European languages.
