| This spelling indicates use of a voiced alveoloar flap
| (IPA [r-with-no-line-above-the-curve])
| instead of an unvoiced alveolar stop (IPA [t]).
| Since mav well may use this flap himself (saying "priddy"),
| perhaps he left it out of his mispronunciation spelling,
| lest he be accused of hypocrisy.
|
| Say ... /you/ don't use that flap, do you SV?
| (Test: Do you pronounce "latter" and "ladder" the same?)
| You're not being hypocritical here, are you? ^_^
|

Sheesh. You win.
