	schwa Information Center - teaching the schwa sound
		The word "schwa" (pronounced /ʃwɑː/) is from the Hebrew word שְׁוָא (šěwā’, /ʃəˈwaʔ/), meaning "nought"—it originally referred to one of the niqqud vowel points used with the Hebrew alphabet, which looks like a vertical pair of dots under a letter.
		Schwa is the most common vowel sound in English, the unstressed vowel in many unstressed syllables, like the 'a' in about or the 'o' in synonym.
		In the Dutch language, the vowel of the suffix -lijk, as in waarschijnlijk (probably) is pronounced as a schwa.

		In linguistics, a schwa is an unstressed and toneless neutral vowel sound in any language, often but not necessarily a mid-central vowel (rounded or unrounded).
		For Barker, Schwa is alternately his pseudonym, a fictitious omnipresent corporation, a religion, or a resistance movement against corporate conspiracies and aliens.
		Schwa began in 1992 when Barker, a former advertising art director, was looking for a way to express himself with a single art style when he was given a copy of "The Secret Government", a conspiracy book that tells of aliens controlling the government.

	Schwa
		Schwa (pronounced “shwah”) is a term drawn from Hebrew grammar (“sheva”) that was originally a sign written under a consonant to indicate the absence of a following vowel sound.
		Each of the underlined vowels is a schwa and has virtually the same pronunciation, but for the unwary newcomer to English the spelling gives little indication of the appalling truth.
		Another great schwa pun is the one by Denis Norden in Issue 18 (March 2000), in which he likens a hi-hat to the poetry of Mallarmé.
