* I do not condone "hunting Iraqi's" by any means. This blog is only about Rhotacism.
I can name 2 t.v. personalities off the top of my head who definitely suffer/ed from Rhotacism:
~Elmer Fudd- From Looney Tunes
~Barbara Walters- Famed t.v. Reporter
Now, what causes this impediment?
Causes are actually unknown but this impediment commonly stems from speakers of languages that contain a trilled R.
A trilled what? A trilled R- is bascially a rolling R. This R exist in langauges like Spanish, Italian, and Polish. All of these languages have R's that roll.
Ex. Carlito in spanish sounds like "Carrlito"
