A non rhotic r in horse does not make a non rhotic r in sauce. That’s not a question of rhoticity because how you pronounce the r sound doesn’t matter…its that there’s an r sound at all in sauce.

There is no R sound in sauce.

You agreed with this in another comment regarding the British pronunciation of sauce sounding like ‘source’. That again has nothing to do with the rhoticity of the r in source, only that there is an r in sauce.

There is no R in sauce.

Yet here you refuse to come to the same conclusion that you did on another comment because 🤷

Been pretty consistent on this, dude.

I am not saying this is specific to you, I’m saying this is a difference in the pronunciation of the word. The issue here is the comparison to another word rather than someone just linking side by side pronunciations of the word in question: sauce.

There is no R sound in any of this. As someone else pointed out, it's an "aw" sound. Saws. Haws.

You can type that all you want, but the fact is that there is an r sound when you say sauce . Delusional, I guess.

It's an "aw" sound, like in "saw".
