minus-squareHugeNerd@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoI’ve only ever heard that “added r” thing when watching BBC stuff. Can you link me to some Americans saying drawring instead of drawing, for example?
minus-squareLotrOrc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 month agoHuh thats really interesting ive never heard that on BBC Its all over the place in New England especially in MA
minus-squareAlaik@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoI didnt know people from Boston could pronounce Rs at any point, let alone add more. “Pahk the cah.”
minus-squareHugeNerd@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoHm, I’ll try and find some examples. It just fascinates me how things like language evolve chaotically, like tiny changes that somehow then become the new equilibrium point.
