Hey, Brits! Drop the silent "r's" in your representations of how we say "water."

I was a grownup before I realized that "Eeyore" is supposed to sound more or less like "Heehaw."

Some people do say "warsh" and "Wawrshington" (with an r), but I don't think anyone says "warter." Or, for that matter, "dorter."

No matter what you may have seen printed in comic dialect.
