Eva meanders in circles trying to find a point to make
in a cloud of pot haze:

Yeah, that's super, but babies have nothing to do with
real-world languages with only one vowel. It's sad when one
can only post ad hominems without any focus to the topic
at hand.

It's probably because of the complete lack of one-vowel
systems in any of the thousands of world languages that
exist today or those in the past 5000 years of recorded
history. That might play a big part in this.

Because my dog can pronounce it?? I'm sure if I trained him
right, he could pronounce any central unrounded vowel on
command :P

Yeah, whatever, Eva. And I'm sure you are wise enough to
judge anyone as being ignorant. But then, perhaps what you
say _is_ correct...
