The problem here is that regional dialects are gradually weakening and becoming more “standardized.” In the strongest iterations of these accents, the “r” sound is pronounced if it comes before the vowel in a syllable, but isn’t if it comes after.

a before a vowel is possible?
The real rule is this: the article "a" is used before the words that start with the consonant sound,and "an" before the words that starts with the vowel sound. Example:He has a unique point of view on the subject and talked about it for an hour.
