Linking r's - for non-rhotic native English speakers A couple of questions for non-rhotic native English speakers. Are there times when you wouldn’t use a linking r? It’s obvious that you wouldn’t use it if you make a pause between two words, but apart from that? Would there be any difference between when you spoke normally and if you recited a poem for instance?

Would you pronounce both r’s in “for our own” so that you say /fɔːraʊərəʊn/ ? (An example sentence: "Except for our own daughter")

In the sentence “Their overriding aim was to keep costs low.” I personally wouldn’t use a linking r in “their overriding” and say /ðeəˈrəʊ.vəˈraɪ.dɪŋ/ . Would you?

Would you use a linking r in “their original” in this line from a poem?:
The leaves return to their original illusion.

You don’t have to answer all my questions. Just answer what you feel like.
Thanks a lot for your participation!
