Though they are presented the same, the first schwa is part of the word while the second schwa is its own word.
[1] It's a schwa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa
The way it was explained in my phonetics class, schwa is the vowel sound in the middle syllable of Canada.

I know this but it's not taking it, even with punctuation.
NM, I tried something else but it's actually not correct. It took, though.

Took me one minute to figure it, and three and a half to get to punctuation right. Jeesh.

[13] I'm with you on that, and also love that you added not knowing the difference between "know" and "now"...did you mean "know" and "no"?
The one that makes me grit my teeth are the folks that spell "lose" "loose"...GAAAHHH!!!
