I don't mind it so much when British English speakers take out the 'r' in words. What bugs the hell out of me is when they add the 'r' in places where it doesn't belong. Why they do this, I have no idear.
- dredmorbius 14y agoThere's also the 'w' as 'r' substitution, which I tend to think of as a speech defect. Prominent among several broadcasters.
- conks 14y agoI had a British co-worker once and that drove me insane. 'Hey, there's no 'r' in data' I would tell him.
- omaranto 14y agoAmericans do that too, if you count New Englanders. :) I find it funny that Bostonians pronounce "Korea" and "career" close to swapped from the way I do.
