Consonants
:The consonants of U.S. English are essentially the same as those used in British English, but they have a different distribution. In particular
.After a vowel, U.S. English can have /r/ regardless of the sound which follows, whereas British English retains the /r/ only when it is followed by a vowel
/Compare U.S. mar /mɑr/, marring /ˈmɑrɪŋ/ with British mar /mɑː/, marring /ˈmɑːrɪŋ
./Between vowels (except at the start of a stressed syllable) U.S. English has /d/ where British English has /t
/Compare U.S. butter /ˈbədər/, and waiting /ˈweɪdɪŋ/ (as against wait /weɪt/) with British butter /ˈbʌtə/, waiting /ˈweɪtɪŋ/, wait /weɪt
.(/U.S. speakers are more likely than British speakers to distinguish between wear (with /w/) and where (with either /w/ or /hw

/Where /ɪ/, /ɛ/, /ɔ/, or /ʊ/ is followed by /r/, an intervening /ə/ is often inserted, e.g. near /nɪ(ə)r/, square /skwɛ(ə)r/, force /fɔ(ə)rs/, cure /kjʊ(ə)r
Stress

./The symbol ˌ at the beginning of a syllable indicates that that syllable is pronounced with secondary stress, as in the first syllable of cerebration /ˌsɛrəˈbreɪʃən
The symbol ˈˌ at the beginning of a syllable indicates that that syllable may be pronounced with either primary or secondary stress, as in the first syllable
