There's a man here in Detroit who preaches the schwa named Uncle Jerrold. He was even in the paper. He hands out pamphlets wherever he goes and will talk about it for hours if you let him. He even has a little cart with books and new words made up that use the schwa regularly.
He's awesome. If you google "Uncle Jerrold", you should find the article.
Schwa was the bane of my existence during my phonetics course. Stressed? Unstressed? Add the little hooky-r on the end (especially difficult, given that I'm a New Englander)? ARGH!
But now I can write in that alien language. I used to take my lecture notes in it so no one would try to borrow them.
@bennyvalencia You dont have to buy a new keyboard, just go here on your computer. click -Start-All programs-accessories-system tools- Character map. Character map has every letter or symbol you'll ever need :-P
@Darkenfire88 wow, thanks. i always wondered how people made those symbols. (i figured there was a way to do it, and me buying a new keyboard was a joke) but, holy crap, now i know. thanks!!! this is definitely going in my next vlog.
may the әrtz be with you

This was great! I had forgotten my third grade phoenetics and the schwa. Funny how the word schwa doesn't use one.
