Cool word... eejit!! nice ring to it

English pronunciation is divided into two main accent groups, the rhotic and non-rhotic, depending on when the phoneme (the letter "r") is pronounced. Rhotic speakers pronounce written "r" in all positions (although many rhotic speakers omit it in French loan words where "r" is silent, such as dossier). Non-rhotic speakers pronounce "r" only if it is followed by a vowel (see "linking R"). In linguistic terms, non-rhotic accents are said to exclude in the syllable coda. This is commonly referred to as post-vocalic "r", although that term can be misleading because not all r's that occur after vowels are excluded in non-rhotic English.


Al is from Drogheda, which is apparently a non-rhotic area of Ireland, and so he fits the above profile of non-rhotic accents... bruddah and tree ,etc...

my brain hurts at this time of night :(
