"Alright, we're still talking about pushed "R"s but we want to look at a different make up at this point. When the vowel "A" like as in "ARD" like "CARD" like A R comes together, A you've got and A sound followed by an "R" you're going to drop the "R". So it's the same as the last rule, but you're just going to drop the "R". Now this one doesn't necessarily come into an "AW" sound, you're just simply going to drop the "R" after the "A".
