eh.

I kind of love this.

Schwat are you talking about?

I hated phonetics class.

I've always hated the schwa

I prefer the dipthong

Do they still teach phonetics?

Or did it go the way of the American metric system...

That sign always confused me to no end when I was in grade school!

You've made an old linguistics major very happy.

Which one?

Reminds me of a comedy skit my mother started to write: If Jeopardy Contestants Were On Wheel of Fortune.

"I'd like to buy a dipthong. Is there an 'ou' as in 'shout'?"

I studied English at university for a couple of years, but dropped out to go to film school instead. I chose an American English phonetics course, which was based on the Midwestern accent, which is considered the most standard way of speaking in America, like BBC English in the UK.
