The word "allude" is a verb that means to make an indirect or subtle reference to something or someone. For instance, the phrase "to allude to" means to mention something without stating it directly, often as a hint or suggestion.No, Genie did not allude to it, she straight up said it.

I really want to focus on the "schwa" sound with you Bobby.Don't get him started on my grammar again! You knew what I meant
I really want to focus on the "schwa" sound with you Bobby.
A schwa is the most common, reduced, and "lazy" vowel sound in English, heard as a weak "uh" in unstressed syllables, and can be produced by any vowel letter in a word. To say it, keep your mouth, lips, and jaw relaxed, with the mouth only slightly open and the tongue flat. Practicing schwa sounds involves listening for the "uh" sound in words with unstressed syllables, such as the 'a' in "about" or the 'e' in "travel".
The schwa is a weak, short, and relaxed vowel sound, represented as /ə/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), that is crucial for natural English annunciation by making speech sound more fluent and effortless. To produce the schwa, relax your tongue, jaw, and lips into a neutral position and make a soft "uh" sound, which can be represented by any vowel letter in an unstressed syllable.
How to make the schwa sound
- Relax your mouth: Let your jaw, lips, and tongue rest in a neutral position.
- Open slightly: Open your mouth just enough to let the sound out, but not wide.
- Make a weak "uh": Produce a soft, short "uh" sound that feels very relaxed.
