I'm American too, born here, never been anywhere else. However, I am of Mexican heritage, and my first name has a rolled R in it. Funnily enough, despite this, I didn't know how to roll my R's until I was 16ish.
I mean, it's just not a sound that exists in our language and accent, so a lot of people don't develop the ability to make the sound. It's like how most French people can't make the th sound
Well I can't machine gun my Ts or Ds either. So yay.
Nope, and I'm pretty fluent in Spanish. But learned it as a second language and that sound does not existg anywhere near Midwestern English, so I'm stuck always sounding like a gringo
Lol Carne doesn't have a rolled r. It's not the English r, but it's not rolled
I speak Spanish but can't do it to save my life
