also the Scottish roll their r's, and they're Anglo, kinda.

Cajuns learn it because they hate yankees so much they cannot stand to speak the same language as them.

niggers learn it because their parents teach them, and women learn it to be pretentious and extra useless at the same time

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say.

his point is that you can't expect people in one country to speak a foreign language. The foreigner is expected to at least try and learn a few words and phrases in the local language. How is going to France and automatically speaking English to the locals any different than a Japanese person coming to your country and speaking Japanese?

The French "r" isn't a rolled "r".

Think of clearing your throat, right before spitting. Not coughing, actually clearing your throat. That's where the guttural R happens.

I'm not sure but I guess if your tip of the tongue OR the back of your tongue hits your palate once, then it isn't a rolled R. If the tongue hits the palate multiple times then it's a rolled R.
