Something else which is odd is he says 'eee' when somethings going on. Like 'eee, I left cooker on with tea in it'.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone do that in my life.

Do they like say 'Lets go over fere and sit on fe bench and look at the fistles'?

Pronouncing 'WH' as 'F' I hear all the time though (and may be slightly guilty of meself)



I don't know why I laughed so hard at your post. I'm still laughing!

Maybe I will only find this funny. Where I grew up it was mostly French. French people have a heavy accent when they try to speak English. So when French people speak English, they drop the "H" off every word that starts with it. If a word starts with a vowel, they add an "h" to it/

So when they speak they go up the ill to heat dhere heggs.
I am not sure how to signify the dhere. When something starts with "dh" they drop they pronounce it with a "d" and not an "h." Except words like "three" which becomes said as "tree."

I lost most of my accent but when I get talking and am either frustrated, angry or hyper my b/f says the French just comes out of me.




I need to learn when to shut my big boy mouth...

And then there are those who find the "f" too hard to pronounce!

I know a guy, who pronounces the word "theif", as "theith"..he sounds like an A-hole!



If he has a speech impediment, he can't help it. I had a lisp when I was younger (couldn't say the S sound...always came out as th). I was in speech therapy for 3 years, but if I'm tired or not feeling well, I have to REALLY focus to pronounce it correctly. I guess I'm a little more lenient with people on things like that because I know how much focus goes into it sometimes

People just have different accents. Where I live nobody can pronounce ing. Instead of saying 'eating' it comes out 'eatin'.
