Why do you Engelanders, with words ending with "a," insist on substituting an "r" sound, since you generally have a soft, rounded-off and fluffy "r" sound? Simply to differentiate between "spa" and "spar"? I think it's ridiculous.

New Yorkers do it too. This should at least slow down the ensuing discussion.

1. depends which english accent you mean. some dialects do this, some do not.

2. the english language is full of stuff like this, whichever nation speaks it, as letters are pronounced differently, expecting consistency from this language is a mugs game, you might be more suited to spanish

3. "white people be driving like this" style observational comedy questions have a low chance of success. mostly, as we see here, they end up being yet mere empty clutter
