FWIW, the Merriam-Webster online dictionary[1] (which uses ampersands to
denote schwas in its pronunciation key), lists every vowel sound in the
word "uncomfortable" as a schwa, whether you pronounce it with four
syllables (&n-c&mf-t&r-b&l) or five

I never thought of the vowel sound in "what" as being the same as that
in "up" or "cup". Most people I know pronounce the "a" in what as "ah"

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an HTML character for the 'u'
in 'mutt'. The 'u' in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) is called
a "shwa" represented by an upside-down 'e'. It is the same vowel
sound in "what" and "up" and "cup".
Wow, finally putting my degree in linguistics to good u

M U T T, which comes from the derogatory term used for a mixed-breed
canine, rhymes with what golfers do: P U T T or with a small house or
building: H U T

Or, rather, I didn't, because I put a U+028c between the m and the t
in /mʌt/.
Can anyone think why the Unicode character didn't get through the

Mutt is pronounced as "mutt". Can it be more simple?
;-)))
Maybe M.E. could record a sound file and say something like:
"Hello, my name is Micheal Elkins, and I pronounce 'mutt' as &#x
seniors,
how to pronounce "mutt"?
