My OSX Lion built in OED is telling me: dessert |dəˈzərt|
However, I think the first e in dessert is actually /ɪ/. Am I right/wrong?
I understand /ə/ is the mid central vowel, and the way I remember the sound is with of /əv/.
But just to be sure, can /ə/ be used to represent something else than this sound?, the mid central vowel.
