        At least we actually pronounce the R instead of somehow cancelling it by adding an unpronounced letter.

          Says the guy that sounds like they’re having an aneurysm when saying “squirrel” or “mirror” 😜

                Nope, I’ve only heard 𐑕𐑒𐑢𐑻𐑤 and 𐑥𐑰𐑮𐑼

                You must have only ever met those really weird Appalachian folks that apparently retained most of Shakespeare’s English

                  A) You don’t hear yourself doing it, others do. I should know, being Scottish

                  B) That factoid was made up by a journalist to fill column inches and is utter nonsense

                    Isn’t your accent the one that pronounces r as some mutation of a german ü sound‽

                    Does any non received r just sound like a stroke to you people‽
