Because "short" vowel is not a technical term in phonetics, there is no clear standard against which one can judge what it means. Using its general meaning in common speech, in reading, and in phonics, the letter U sound is
-- a short OO as in pull and put
-- a short U or /uh/ sound as in fun and submit
-- unstressed or schwa as in circus
In IPA symbols, the short U sound in American English is
ʊ, as in pull /pʊl/
^ as in up / ^p/
ə as in circus /sûr k
s/
