Rhotacism is a speech impediment that is defined by the lack of ability, or difficulty in, pronouncing the sound R.
That's about as bad as calling a nose reduction rhinoplasty.

Also known as... The British Accent
Seriously, the sounds for r and l are nearly gone from British English but all anyone wants to do about it is twidoo deir fingahs.

He shouldn't talk with his mouth full. Unfortunately, his... "accent" is becoming more and more standard.
I was recently looking through some British English textbooks and saw a phonics section that insisted that the "au" in "aunt" and the "ar" in "car" were homophones.
Go on youtube and see how many British "teachers" make fun of Americans for how we pronounce the letter "r." How dare we treat it as if it actually exists!

1. I remember when the only accent heard on British TV was Received Pronunciation. 2. Careful mate, your "homophonia" will get you cancelled.  3. Personally, I've noticed that certain words now appear to be pronounced differently from the way I was taught as a child. At first I thought I'd simply misheard or was imagining things, but no... It appears I never got the memo. ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif) |

3. See above.
But I also think that's on of the reasons that American (and even Australian) English is preferred by many 2nd language learners. It's not the vocab or grammar. It's learning an accent that doesn't make you sound like you've got a mouthful of marbles... or shit.
And nobody wants that Kiwi accent. Those fuckers are like listening to nails on a chalkboard 24/7

1. I think there's a time and place for most accents in film, TV and even music, depending upon the characters being presented and the story being told. However, if I'm listening to a current affairs program, a documentary or a news broadcast, I want to be able to do so without needing subtitles.  3. It's really startling just how far the quality of some British programming has fallen much the content of some British programming has changed over the years... it's almost unrecognizable. And I reckon the reason you can't understand Kiwis is because they're talking with a mouth full of wool. |

Which isn't surprising, as it's Tom Baker, the fourth Doctor.  |

Apart from the odd clip here or there, I've never seen it. When it comes to British comedy, I prefer the likes of BLESS THIS HOUSE, ARE YOU BEING SERVED?, THE GOODIES, THE GOOD LIFE, YES MINSTER, YES PRIME MINISTER, RED DWARF, BOTTOM and, of course, FAWLTY TOWERS. There are more, but you get the idea of where my tastes are... |

I'm not so fond of RISING DAMP, but I absolutely love THE FALL AND RISE OF REGINALD PERRIN, which also starred Leonard Rossiter. |
