"Schwa"

You learn something new every day. :)

I haven't the slightest memory of learning what the "schwa" sound -upside down "e" in dictionaries- referred to. Now, I know! It is when a vowel is lightly pronounced as an "uh"/"er" sort of sound.

I learned this when mention of the "schwa" sound turned up in my sister's grade four reading lesson today. I had to teach it to her. :)

Opening the Blog

I am considering making this an open blog but then I will need to commit to making a habit of posting. And I will need to be more careful with what I share. Blogs are meant to be read as much as written, I suppose. :)

(and I already talk to myself too much)

What is your will, Abba?
