DRAWING - it's pronounced draw-ing, not DRAW *R*ING. Take note, Kevin McCloud!

I've noticed more and more people putting an extra R in the middle of drawing, including tonight's Grand Designs on More 4.

It's not a draw-ring, FFS - it's a draw-ing.

Rant over.

Sorry - I posted and went to bed last night. Didn't realise this would be controversial. This is SO not an anti-regionalist thread!

Anyone outside a 20-mile radius of Glasgow would probably have great trouble with my accent, especially when I'm drunk and not enunciating properly.

I don't agree that this pronunciation is down to regional differences or different accents. I have heard people with various accents add an R.

Sorry you find it tedious, Beetroot. I tend not to contribute to posts that I find tedious.
