conversely you can find some american regions where they are non-rhotic, e.g. Rhode Island (haha.. rho'd)

because 'pis' in French means cow udder

some part of new england are still that way in the usa

if you pronounce the /r/ you are a rhotic speaker. some old english accents (like the classic OO-ARRR FARRMERRR) still do it. and it was taken to America by those old english. but today it's rare

zoner: it's called rhoticity (same as the deal with "hard r" in the n-word over there, there is no distinction here, you can't tell!)

the french do however realise that W is double-V and not double-U!

zoner (19:47:57)
I'm not british but the whole "a" pronounced as "er" thing is regional no? (asking for real)
