Not all the British. It seems that Ka-pi pronounces the r in work

There's no r in work.

What about how and show?

What do you mean by this? It rhymes with jerk, hence the 'er' sound.

As for how and show, kind of too short to spell out phonetically, you could explain them by comparing them with the word 'ow' and the letter 'o' respectively, but I suppose like Tee said earlier for someone that isn't sure how to pronounce those either it doesn't really help.

Like Teeqoz said before, British people commonly drop the 'r' in that 'er' sound you speak of (and in a few others too).

I still don't really get it. I am British yet I've only ever heard work pronounced one way and that's a way that rhymes with jerk. I can't even imagine what dropping the 'r' would sound like

Click on the listen button here then:

Notice the difference between the UK and US versions, US has the 'r' sound.

That's beacuse people drop the 'r' in 'jerk' too.
