R [âR]
Letter
== Meaning ==
R is the eighteenth letter of the modern English alphabet and the ISO basic Latin alphabet. Its name in English is ar(pronounced /ˈɑːr/), plural ars, or in Ireland or /ˈɔːr/.
The letter ⟨r⟩ is the eighth most common letter in English and the fourth-most common consonant (after ⟨t⟩, ⟨n⟩, and ⟨s⟩).
The letter ⟨r⟩ is used to form the ending -re, which is used in certain words such as centre in some varieties of English spelling, such as British English. Canadian English also uses the -re ending, unlike American English, where the ending is usually replaced by -er (center). This does not affect pronunciation.
