Re: [lojban-beginners] Lojban for beginners

It's nothing to do with Lojban. It's just that a lot of British
accents are non-rhotic (meaning that the letter R isn't pronounced in
many possitions where it would be in rhotic accents). Wikipedia has
more information than you could possibly want about it
