Hola Maite!!! Que buena la canción....nanana

DEDICATED TO TOMATO IN TORREON MEXICO

I love it!!!!

Here in Southern England, we say [lahf-tuh]and [ahf-tuh] for "laughter" and "after" and I was aware of that phenomenon in Boston English (non-rhotic) but I didn't know that "A broadening" was compatible with a rhotic accent (Fitzgerald's).

I don't know anyone who says la:f-tr. What I think is happening here is that the difference between the front and back vowel is the important difference for the sake of the song (perhaps they wanted to reflect the difference between more and less prestigeous versions of the language), and Ella Fitzgerald, who spoke a rhotic dialect, didn't notice or think it important that she was singing the word with an "r".
So, I don't think that version is possible either, er "aither".

Good on your professor. But, don't you think you should be writing in English?

I think TheRealFancy is saying that her English teacher introduced her to the song.

Uno scrive come gli pare.
