Their influence on American culture is reflected in many ways - music and language especially. I am intrigued by the way Americans roll their 'r's, and I wonder whether this is because of the Irish influence. I am also interested in any particularly Irish expressions still in use in modern American English. Any comments on this subject would be very welcome.
