Weird, I learned rhotic was pretty much standard dialect around the time North America was colonized … wouldn’t that mean it’s the other way around in reality? (Honest no rage-bait question).

I ain’t gonna risk licking them
This or one of the 56 flavours of English (Colonial) but perhaps American also counts as that
Picking “Inglis an Scots 🏴”
