Topic: Why can't British fucking pronounce the simple letter 'a'?

Anonymous A started this discussion 2 weeks ago #137,339

Arubar. Korear. Formular. Antennar. Algebrar. Ammoniar. Cubar. Why can you just say the fucking 'a' without adding an 'r'?

It’s funny when they add an extra I to aluminum and say "Aluminium"

I don't have the intricate details. I just know that many British speakers, especially in England, can't pronounce a fucking a.

I have never heard anyone here add an r to the end of those words.

There are 3 countries in Britain, not 4. The UK has 4, Britain 3.

He didn't say "people in Great Britain", he said "British".

Which means people from England, Scotland or Wales, which is 3 countries.

Good luck telling a unionist they're not British.

Northern Ireland isn’t even the most northern part of Ireland.

Something that’s actually kind of interesting about Northern Ireland is it used to be majority Protestant because when the British colonized Ireland they sent over Protestants to live on land they confiscated from the Catholic Irish population. But over the years Northern Ireland has slowly becoming more and more Catholic to the point where now there are actually more Catholics than Protestants in Northern Ireland.

In 2024 they actually elected an Irish nationalist.

Britain is the one big island. The UK is both the island of Britain and (northern) Ireland.
