I saw the office and when dwight said “R is one of the most menecing letters. Thats why they call it murder, not mukduk.” Ive been wanting to know the science behind that.
In:
What I can tell you is that a hard “R” pronounciation of words like wuh-R-duh (for word) used to be considered barbaric. The British pronunciation (and accent) is propper English.
My assumption is that over the course of history, it has been culturally passed down that a hard “R” is menacing considering that it used to be “barbaric”.
