Lol what a ridiculous person. No sense engaging with you.

Damn. Ioved Getting Even With Dad as a kid. Had no idea it was so disliked.

You have no idea if there's any substance or not.

I'll take things that didn't happen for $1000, Alex.

You can type that all you want, but the fact is that there is an r sound when you say sauce . Delusional, I guess.

It is an issue of rhoticity. Literally the only difference is the rhotic R. I say horse like sauce because I don't rhoticise the R. This doesn't make my horse sound like an American sauce - and why would it? Why would a non-rhotic speaker pronounce a word without an R anything like a rhotic speaker's R?

A non rhotic r in horse does not make a non rhotic r in sauce. That's not a question of rhoticity because how you pronounce the r sound doesn't matter....its that there's an r sound at all in sauce.

You agreed with this in another comment regarding the British pronunciation of sauce sounding like 'source'. That again has nothing to do with the rhoticity of the r in source, only that there is an r in sauce.

Yet here you refuse to come to the same conclusion that you did on another comment because 🤷

I am not saying this is specific to you, I'm saying this is a difference in the pronunciation of the word between british and american english. I think the issue here is the comparison to another word rather than someone just linking side by side pronunciations of the word in question: sauce. Horse and source are irrelevant. Side by side there is a clear addition of an r sound in sauce from American English to British. Neither is wrong or right, and there's nothing you should be getting offended over here.

Well unless you speak differently than the now 5 differently accented British speakers I just listened to, you do indeed add an r sound to sauce.

The British pronunciation of horse, despite some subtlety that varies across accents on the r (which is also a thing here) is not remarkable from an American ear.

If it were an issue of rhoticity your horse would sound more like the American sauce, but its the other way around.

I'm not familiar with phonetic spelling at all really, especially when it comes to British English, so I'm not approaching the subject with any authority..

I dont know if it's just a disconnect between proper phonetics and real language or differences in accents, but after listening 3 examples form different speakers, there is a very present r sound. That not being present in the phonetic spelling is confusing to me. And the 'translatwd' 'Saws' nor 'sawse' convey how the word is spoken. I've actually seen 'sawse' used as a stylized American spelling with emphasis on the 'aw'.

'Saws' is the standard American pronunciation - au makes a sound like 'aw'.

British adds an r to sauce.

Sure...im just curious how the surgeons sold this guy on the procedure. Dealing with non functional transplant care cannot be easier than a prosthetic.

This is...dumb as hell.
