Thread Name: Why the 'r' between vowels?
Subject: RE: Why the 'r' between vowels?
You can argue for English or French all you want.
But for unpronounced letters, the best ever is Gaelic.
One of my favorite examples is "bhitheadh," pronounced "via".
(BTW, the extra "R" that started this discussion was obviously inserted by pirates.)
