Are you referring to the middle consonant sound of "butter" in American English? If so, how is the "r" pronounced in "very" in British English? (I just know if we are trying to make a British acccent, we put that sound in "very"  ) |

Indeed Lorikeet, I've heard some Britons pronounce the /t/ in butter it as the standard American, I asked somewhere else and they told that the /t/ in words like butter is always aspired, I only wonder if it is valied for all the accents they have in Britain.
veRy veRy right (I can't write how one would say this  )
