I've only ever heard that "added r" thing when watching BBC stuff. Can you link me to some Americans saying drawring instead of drawing, for example?

The added r shows up in American Midland dialect. Wash becomes warsh, etc

Hm, I'll try and find some examples. It just fascinates me how things like language evolve chaotically, like tiny changes that somehow then become the new equilibrium point.

I didnt know people from Boston could pronounce Rs at any point, let alone add more. "Pahk the cah."
