You use the same vowel for 'what' as you do for 'up'?

:confused Australian noises:

Oh you're Australian. Yeah, most dialects in the US say "what" and "up" with a schwa.

Wut up. The 'u' vowel sound in "up" is the same one in "what" in most American dialects.

The schwa is the same vowel sound in duzza. Wuzza uppa.
