Why players ask
ER is the noise a person makes while hesitating, and English writes it down often enough that it earned a place on the word lists. It is a consonant-and-vowel pair that fits almost anywhere, which makes it one of the workhorses of parallel play: laid alongside an existing word it can form two or three scoring words at once. Nobody wins a game with ER, but plenty of people save a turn with it.
