[Opinions] Re: Nope . . .
When I was in an English phonology class (NAE), I said that in words that end in -er, -el, and sometimes -en, I can't hear the schwa either. I know that in Czech there are words that don't have vowels, so maybe in my region with Slavic heritage, we lost some of the schwas. Also, in some words with 2 schwas in a row, we drop one of them and make the word one syllable shorter.
