The North American dialects pronounce the ‘r’ in those words because they’re rhotic dialects. Most British, Australian, and New Zealand accents don’t pronounce the ‘r’ because they’re non-rhotic dialects.
Just remember that Brits don’t pronounce ‘r’ unless it’s not there. So the phrase “Law and Order” is pronounced sorta/kinda like “law rand ohduh”. The two 'r’s that are actually present are not pronounced, but the linking sound between “law” and “and” is the ‘r’ sound. That isn’t in the orthography.
And people say English is a hard language to learn! This is me scoffing!
