Authors' Note: "Captain R" is a muse who appears episodically in the authors' dreams. R. is their abbreviation for rhotic (ROA-tik) dialects in English, i.e. those that honour R-sounds as they are written. The Captain, who clearly has been influenced by the nearby letter "q" as in Don Quixote, and wears a tight-fitting shirt emblazoned with a large "R", has inspired a quest that culminated in the other verses in this collection (at the website OEDILF submitted as articulate, intrusive Rs, and articular.)

Quixotic, BTW, is used to described ideas and actions that are foolishly impractical and romantic.

You can find our other verses dealing with non-rhotic accents under the listing "Captain R's Impossible Mission".  Click HERE.
