Represent the GenAm NURSE and STRUT vowels as schwa[edit]

Voting on:

  • When providing modern Lua error in Module:accent_qualifier at line 157: You must now specify a language code in 1=; alternatively, use the a= param of Template:IPA pronunciations, writing the STRUT vowel as /ə/ (instead of /ʌ/), and the NURSE vowel as /ɚ/ or /əɹ/ (instead of /ɜ(ː)/~/ɝ/).
  • Ideally, also recording the historical pronunciation (as /ʌ/ and /ɝ/, respectively) with some appropriate qualifier like Lua error in Module:accent_qualifier at line 157: You must now specify a language code in 1=; alternatively, use the a= param of Template:IPA.
  • To be determined before starting this vote: should we also represent these vowels as schwa for British English, like the OED does for nurse?
