I've heard quite my share of Spanish and never happened upon that. Rather, people would extend the r without rolling it.

And in any event, that wouldn't mean there are words in Spanish with rolled final r's, which is what was being discussed, just that people might pronounce a word that way.

Argentinian here... and I'd usually extend the o, not the r, so "Estuvimos allí poor un rato."

Also, a lot of native spanish speakers pronounce all initial r's as rolled r's.

That's the way spanish is pronounced.

Radio is "Rradio".

I've found amusing how some people who learn english as a second language end up pronouncing spanish as "espanish", since no spanish word begis with s(consonant), except for sh.

"A lot" meaning all of them, because that's the norm.
