  I'm even more confused now...
  
  They're all using only the 'uh' sound for every non-silent vowel in each word.
  
  That 'uh' sound is apparently called the schwa in linguistics.
  
  (edit: clarified after i had already hit the post button)
  
  All the vowels make an 'uh' sound when you read the sentence out loud
