"Law & Order"

We have always enjoyed an evening filled with "Law & Order" re-runs, but they've been especially entertaining since being in Australia. You see, when the network runs it's commercials to let you know that "Law & Order is coming up next," the Aussie doing the voice over says, "Lar & Orda." This got me thinking... why do Aussies add "r's" where they don't belong, and drop "r's" where they clearly need to be?! I asked a colleague this and we spent the better part of an afternoon debating how to properly pronounce it. By the end of the day she was saying, "Laaaaa & Orderrrrr." Close enough I suppose. Close enough.
