In many (most?) modern, non-rhotic, dialects of English one inserts an
"intrusive" bridging "R" sound after a word that ends in certain vowel
sounds and is followed by a word starting with a vowel.
That description is a bit hard to "picture", but if you read the
examples in the link below, you'll recogize it immediately:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linking_and_intrusive_R#Linking_R
However, this only affects spoken English -- not written English.
Is the Python language rhotic or non-rhotic?
