Tangent, but it might help you avoid an embarrassing situation later on. If someone says "They called me the hard-R", they're not talking about the R-word.

"R----d" is usually just called "the R word", while "the hard R" refers specifically to the standard version of "the N word". (As opposed to "the soft A", which is sometimes used synonymous with "dude".)

That sounds preposterous, it's the same word no matter your accent. I am sticking to my version.

Hey, I'm just describing how some words are used

[jaffa2]

hard R = ends in 'a' soft R = ends in 'er' ? or am i wrong

[lynndotpy]

No no, the other way around; hard R ends in 'er', and soft R ends in 'a' (despite not having an R).
