Why does 'R' appear in the spoken word but not in the written word?

Question

See you Later on ......... See you Later Ron
Move further on ......... Move further Ron
A drawing board ........ A Draw Ring board
Sawing timber ......... Saw Ring timber
Law and Order ....... Law Rand order (Laura Norder)

Who is Ron? Who threw a Ring into the Ring? I thought Rand was South African currency.

Answer 1

We speak like that in Australia, too.

The first two examples are both simple cases of liaison, where otherwise silent word-endings attach themselves to the front of a vowel at the start of the next word. Because the terminal r wouldn't be silent with most American accents, this phenomenon isn't really known there, hence all the confused Americans.

Answer 2

LOL.

I rather think it's the other way around friend. R appears in the written word but not in the spoken word. - if you catch my meaning.

Apart from that, the examples you gave are fine and all except for one thing, very few people talk like that... especially the last three examples. So that must be your accent. Perhaps French colony influenced?

The first two are more commonly found ubiquitously, but it is a case of the R being inthe reading and the speaking. So that it beomes:

See you late-r~on
Move Furthe-r~on

Answer 3

Typical upper class English accent.
The 'spoken' R is inserted at the end of a word that ends with a vowel sound,(if not actually a vowel), when the next word also starts with a vowel.
This helps to differentiate the two words.
Not very common,so a lot of people might not quite understand what you're saying....as you can see by all the answers you've got so far.

Answer 4

Every part of the world has its own colloquialisms and the same language when spoken can sound very different by different people. Within the UK particularly, there are 4 distinct accents, with many variants within those, each with their own idiosyncrasies.

So, I don't think there really is a Ron, or a Laura, and no Ring either - well, not in any other part of the world except yours! :-)

Answer 5

You must live in the northeast. The dialect is such that the people in that part of the US generally add the R's you are referring to. Bear in mind that the written version is not being pronunciated correctly when the R is added. Most of the rest of the country does not speak that way.

Answer 6

That's funny, because what you are writing is how it sounds with a London accent. (Not cockney, but London) It doesn't sound like that elsewhere, or in other places where English is spoken.
