    Why do some people say words funny?

    I'm sure someone has to have a reasonable explanation for this...but why do some people add an "er" to the end of words that end with an "uh" sound.

    Examples:

    Australia vs. Australi-er
    trauma vs. traum-er
    Africa vs. Afric-er


    Can anyone explain this phenomen-er to me?

          ouch.

          Well, I did learn how to say chowda instead of cowdeR.

          It's good to know AO is a valuable educational tool.

          *Wait a minute! That's the opposite of this issue!*

          The investigation continues...

                      Yadderhey! = Yeah, there hey!

                      Ya wanna go hunting, hey!

                      Up north, i.e. MN ND, they always put "hey" at the end of sentences instead of at the beginning.

                      NOT Hey, do you want to go hunting?
                      BUT Ya wanna go hunting, hey?

                      lol, but that still isn't as bad as pronouncing sounds that don't even come close to being part of a word.
