Thread Name: Why the 'r' between vowels?
Subject: RE: Why the 'r' between vowels?
It's a feature of English speech - you won't find Scots using it. As Barb'ry said - it's actually called a rhotic intrusion, or a post vowelic intrusion as it always comes after a vowel sound - such as draw-r-ing, for drawing.

The Scots have other ones like "fill-um," instead of film.
