This has become a pet peeve of mine and as a non-native English speaker I just don’t understand why so many people make that typo in the first place- what is it?

    So English is weird; any non-stressed syllable in a word has the exact same vowel sound: the schwa

    It’s basically a very neutral vowel sound because we are lazy speakers.
