The American accents tend to be very rounded, whereas us Brits, tend to speak with a very sharp accent, dependant on where were from. In the word you mentioned, instead of the emphasis on the r like rrrrr, were put the emphasis on the t followed by er. LeTTer.

The English speakers in England usually don't pronounce it, and the English speakers in Scotland usually do. The U.K. has a lot of regional variation in pronunciation.

There's no reason for this.
it's just the way it is.
American pronounciation (aswell as Australian) did change and evolve cause these countries have been colonized not only by british people, but by many other nationalities as Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and so on.
this is why British and american sound different.

the American accent is originally a mix of the Irish and English accents merged together and that's how you got the American accent hope this helps

Because americans in the south stole the "R" and put in words that didn't need one like warsh, and winder.
Having family there I'm familiar with those extra letteers

They do pronounce it; they simply don't say it the way you do. This may be from the fact that English was heavily influenced by French.

you will get used to it somehow and astound your fellow MX with your British accent.
Then be prepared for an Australian English with peculiar pronunciation.
