is it common to say [bɪr] in canada? i learned something!
It should be /ɹ/ or /ɚ/ instead of /r/.
/r/ is perfectly acceptable to represent that phoneme in a broad transcription. Would only be a problem had ~~he~~ they wrote [r].
Well, the question was in []. I responded with // because I'm not enough of an expert to attempt narrow transcriptions 🙂.
That is also a fair point.
