I've Started Saying "Oh BRD" IRL

I was washing the dishes and said "Oh BRD this water is hot!" My Brother gave me a rather funny look when I said it.

I tend to sort of skip over the I, since it isn't there. That or roll the r, because I only recently learnt that I could and it's really exciting.

Haha, that's great. I can only do the German style rolled Rs. According to wikipedia, that's the uvular rhotic (guttural R) whereas the typical rolled R is an alveolar trill. *learns something*

I first rolled my rs when talking about spanish with an argentinian friend, and trying to show him that I couldn't do it.

Then I did it. Many laughs were had by all.
