I've heard it used by more than one person on BBC shows... I'm thinking it's a dialect not a speech impediment

London. Brian, as you know, I was born and grew up in London, and there were a lot of kids in my primary school that pronounced "th" as "f".

I don't know if any other English regional accents have the same substitution.

halfpint · 01-13-2009, 11:12 AM

Its known as a Cockney accent or London is where it comes from

FYI... Oregano IS pronounced that way: [uh-reg-uh-noh]
and tomato is acceptable in both pronunciations, there IS no right or wrong.

I was born and grew up in London also and I've been living up north for nigh on 10 years now. A lot of cockneys might do it but that doesn't mean it's regional - plenty of people from other parts of the country do it, trust me!

Calico Jack · 01-13-2009, 02:28 PM

There's plenty of Aussies who speak like that too. It's just that no one (particularly their parents) have ever bothered to correct them, so it's ingrained and they'll pass it down to their children.
Here, it's essentialy just lazy speech from people who know no better.

If I were you, I'd worry about learning to write English, since I can't make out what the fuck you're getting at most of the time.

That would be sowff (south) Londan (London) - Known as estuary English.

Here is a typical estuary sentence;

Oy yoo fackin cannt, you bin messin wiv mi fackin bird you fuckin slag! Are facking ave yoo you fackin caant. Cum on then, yoo slag, ave fackin go yoo fackin wanka!!!!!

oh stop... As someone that lived in the UK for 4 years I can tell you that there are erroneous pronunciations from both sides of the atlantic

e.g. Schedule in the UK is pronounced "shedule" By that logic School would be "shool"

(I won't even go into some of the incredibly thick and slang-ridden accents that abound in the UK, some of which (Geordies for example), can't be understood by people living less than 50 miles away!)
