Do you mean, the rolling "r"? I thought, it was the British (Scottish, Irish - can't place it, really) thing.

No, usually here people say ca- not car. They simply leave it out.

Ah, I see. Does it happen only with the terminal "r" or with the "r" in the beginning and middle of words as well?

We basically leave out the 'r' everywhere. Beginning, middle, and end. But not me.

It's strange how some letters get dropped and appear in unexpected places: some of the people I know are happy enough saying "ca" for "car" and "sore" for "saw". Sometimes when I'm not paying attention it almost sounds like people are talking about entering into a new "erruh" ("error") when they're really talking about entering a a new era.

Depends how many pints I've had down at my local and the company I keep. To everyone else that is sober, I am fluent in gibberish. To everyone else that is that is as intoxicated as I am, they seem to understand me perfectly.

That is awesome.

Cantonese (HK dialect)/English(really really mixed up.. I think it has its base in Midwestern English though)
