Dag almal,

Ingmar, die brei-R word nie in Afrikaans as 'n spraakdefek beskou nie, maar
wel as
Hugenote Frans invloed, wat dalk 'n foutiewe aanname is siende dat die
Achterhoekers dit
dan ook doen!

Behalwe vir die grappige herhaling van 'MalmesbRy se boeRe eet bRynbRood' is
die aanhoor
van die brei-R vir my as Johannesburger nogal irriterend, veral op Radio
Sonder Grense.

Groete,
Elsie

etymology?
