This reporter manages to put an "r" in the word "media" (@47 seconds). WTF is wrong with you people?

I'm from Italy and live in the UK. Have you ever heard any other accents from here to claim that everyone puts extra Rs where there shouldn't be any?

So do some British people think that Brits who add r's sound like twats/hicks?

How does this work really? Cause that is how it works in America.

I speak rhotic. You are a fuckwit. No-one has dominion over pronunciation. And, regardless, you really are a fuckwit. A pitiable one at that.

Edit: I'll note that rarely do non-English accents use the 'r' you're talking about.

Although that news clip is in England (literally a few minutes away from where I grew up, to be specific) he's actually Scottish, which is pretty distinct - accent wise - from what most would call 'standard' English. I doubt if any English person listening to him would make any value judgement about the way he spoke other than recognising that he was Scottish - which by and large isn't stigmatised at all.

I just checked and they changed the video in the original link. Here is the video I was referring to (@47 seconds):

Haha, yeah, she does. The 'r' is like a transition sound between the two words. I just tried it and I do exactly the same thing. It'd feel physically difficult for me to say both words seperately, like "media ... attention". My mouth naturally forms the 'r' sound straight after saying "media", but while it sounds the same as you're describing, in my head it's more "media rattention". Hmm, interesting, which comes out as, "intrestin", if I say it out loud. Sorry, I have a strange fascination with that kind of thing ... which comes out as "fing", incidentally.

haha. finally a brit with a sense of humor about it. Cheers!
I think the pirate "R" thing is cute but know that I laugh my "arse" off every time you people do it. I just don't understand your need to insert the R everywhere.

FING! hahahaha. great stuff. I love the accent... I really do. This stuff just cracks me up. Ever since I was in England when I was like 10 and some woman at a counter asked my "mum": "and something for the kiddie?". I had a hard time controlling my facial expressions/laughter hearing it. I think I said that line in a fake British accent for years.

good stuff.

the "fackin" thing has never made sense to me when it's applied to people in London. We never say it like that. People say "fookin" in parts of the north but, if anything, everyone in London treats the u, as an "uh", but definitely not as an a, or "ah".

Yeah, I love that stuff too. I'm sure I mentioned this in another thread about being asked to say "mary", marry" and "merry" when i was in America because when I said it they all sounded completely different but when the people who asked me said it they sounded exactly the same. This was in Ohio, so I'm not sure if that's something specific to that region or not.
