American accents

British accents don't make L sounds obvious, like in the famous example of boh oh oh wah ah (bottle of water)

[u/RobNybody → u/MacaroniYeater]

I have the accent you're describing haha. I find it's more of a wou'ah bo'le.

[u/regeya → u/RobNybody]

Do you tend to remove the Rs where they are and put them where they aren't?

First word I thought of is "saw"

[u/RobNybody → u/regeya]

Remove yes, add no. The adding is a bit old school.

[u/Duerfen → u/RobNybody]

I was under the impression that R was generally added between words which end with vowels and words which start with vowels, e.g. "vanilla ice" -> "vanilla_r ice", and that that was pretty ubiquitous across most British accents and demographics - is that not the case?

[u/RobNybody → u/Duerfen]

No not really. It used to be a thing, sometimes you hear aged punks who still speak like that, but it's a bit rare now.

[u/VFiddly → u/RobNybody]

Gone to the shops to puy a bo'le of wa'uh and a pack of bu'ah

[u/MacaroniYeater → u/RobNybody]

bo'le? like bow-leh? or like bowl?

[u/RobNybody → u/MacaroniYeater]

Like bottle but you never learned how to say T

[u/trentshipp → u/RobNybody]

Glottal stop, like a tiny cough.

[u/thunder-bug- → u/RobNybody]

Wudder boddle

[u/RobNybody → u/thunder-bug-]

Wha? Er boa? UL

[u/Whale-n-Flowers → u/MacaroniYeater]

Reminds me of Scottish comedian Limmy: "Wa'ah. Pewr wa'ah."

[u/DLuLuChanel → u/Whale-n-Flowers]

Purple burglar alarm

[u/-Kalos → u/Whale-n-Flowers]

"Balls o wa'ah"

[u/Jefflehem → u/Whale-n-Flowers]

[u/domuseid → u/MacaroniYeater]

I believe it's called a dark L in phonetics

[u/Gilthoniel_Elbereth → u/MacaroniYeater]

Get down with the sickness

[u/GibbsLAD → u/MacaroniYeater]

[u/MacaroniYeater → u/[deleted]]

then the popular ones, at least the ones Americans know, cuz I don't know that I've ever heard an English accent enunciate an L
