#2907: Schwa explain

Schwa

[Megan, Cueball, and Ponytail stand in front of a dinner table, with Megan and Cueball facing Ponytail. Megan has her hand on the rightmost chair while Ponytail has her palm out.]

Megan: What’s up? Was Doug gonna come? Doug loves brunch.

Ponytail: Nuh uh, Doug’s stuck ‘cause of a tunnel obstruction. A truck dumped a ton of onions.

Megan: Ugh.

The schwa is the most common vowel sound in English. In fact, if you stick to the right conversation topics, you can avoid learning any other ones.
