I think the issue here is that it's hard work for a native English speaker to keep track of the correctness of every single vowel sound because in English so many are elided or become "uh".
- robocat 1y agoListen carefully to different English accents, or even better try and mimic them. There's a massive variety of vowel sounds in English: Sydney, Irish, Boston, Indian, etcetera. English speakers can often hear the differences, and many people can produce the different vowels when mimicking the accents (country, city, person, foreigner).
- alimw 1y agoI did not deny the fact that there is a greater variety of vowel sounds available in English. I merely doubt its explanatory power for the phenomenon you describe. But perhaps I am confused about exactly what that phenomenon is.
