One of the strange things about language: To a large extent, we use it subconsciously. Professor McWhorter offers a panoramic sense of this idea by zeroing in on just one sound, "R," and its growing disappearance in British and American English (e.g., pronouncing corner not as "cor-ner" but "caw-nuh").
