Mm. Unsatisfactory. Feels circular. The function of Dad jokes is to be Dad jokes. I'm gonna go with extraterrestrials.

What is the social function of the Dad joke?

They did elaborate that the schwa was the vowel sound between consonants when there was no vowel sound between consonants. I suggested the sound between d and l in candle would be a better example, but I ignored the Hebrew part.

Hilariously, I raised my complaints in a discord server and was informed that a schwa was the sound between the b and the r in"brick" by a person who explained they knew about it because they were familiar with Hebrew.

Or as Homestar Runner would say "Luhtzuhbwuhg" (couldn't find a schwa).

Look at this bro, he stands there alone. An abject figure...

I would object to the combination of always and unambiguous. Consider the electorate in the 2016 election as a counter example. You could argue that the majority opinion was widely believed to be unambiguous, but this was revealed to be an error.

You write that as if e and ë are both schwa. So why the umlaut?

They can't keep gëtting away with this!

A disappointing proportion of higher ed admins would see no real problems with training protofascists. Just look at how pro-Palestinian protesters were treated.
