So it makes perfect sense, then. All they're doing is borrowing it based
on pronunciation as close as it can be done in both (i.e. American and
Australian) dialects (except for the stress thing).

Okay, so when is a written R pronounced and when is it not?

Oh, and does French distinguish between [J] and [nj]?

But there's obviously another deletion that causes Garnier not to have
an [R] at the end.
