The only reason I mentioned the rolling of the R's is that being Mexican and
having bi-lingual parents, aunts, uncles, etc it can be a big deal when you
are one of the rare ones who can't do it. I assume that for other languages
there is probably a sound that can't be made with a tongue tie. Now that I
found out about the tongue tie it makes sense - mainly because the only
difference for the Spanish word for dog and the Spanish word for fart is not
rolling your R so I was made fun of for many years - especially when trying
to say the dog needed food!
