It's called a non-rhotic accent!! And actually back in the day, Italian and Jewish New Yorkers (especially in Brooklyn) added rhoticity to certain words; "toilet" would be pronounced "TER-let."
Nobody from NYC can pronounce an “R” and it will never not be funny lmao
“Shorter showers save water. Ask your sister.”
I wanna hear New Yorkers say that pls 😭

Luxuriating in the Baltimore vowel space + rhoticity. every oriole fan on this light rail train is narrating their own John Waters film circa 1971.

L is playing Sarah McLachlan for Cal because he is sad, and muttering about rhoticity, so now I am muttering "3racha-ass conversation" under my breath and it's nice to be home.

It's not so much the vowels as the consonant - the Brits abandoned Rhoticity in the 1800s, and decided they wanted so desperately to be French that 'r' didn't need to be pronounced at the ends of words.

Canadian here: for me “Shaun” rhymes with “gone” and “shorn” rhymes with “born”. They are very different vowels. The rhoticity is a secondary issue.

When it comes to the pronunciation of r’s in English by way of a system that also sounds like a fine way to cook a chicken, I guess I prefer rhoticity.

This type of rhoticity is called "intrusive or linking R," and you'll hear it from an old head when he says "oil" ("erl" - intrusive), or "Russia" ("Rush-ER" - linking).

Took me a while to register the pun too, because my dialect is rhotic – i.e., it pronounces the "r" in "shorn". The key idea in this whole discussion is rhoticity en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhotici...
