American English includes one of the rarest sounds on Earth , but we use it all the time.
According to the Linguistics Channel @human1011 , the "er" sound is found in less than 1% of the world's languages.
Pronouncing the sound is hard if you don't grow up with it, largely because it's all about the placement and shape of the tongue inside the mouth.
