I end up (unintentionally, mostly) watching a number of videos by a guy that calls himself "Thoughtytwo" but, when he pronounces it, it's, "Foughtytwo" and when he says words like, "other", it comes out, "over" (like, "lover" without the L). He seems a pretty intelligent guy and it just kinda puzzles me how it is that he, at his age, he still can''t pronounce the 'th" sound. is it really that hard to learn? I don't know how they teach English in schools over there but,, I suspect they're MUCH more strict than over here, even more than when I was ion school back in the `60's but, over here, there WERE a lot of young kids that would talk like that and, if the teacher heard someone speak that way, he/she would take the time to correct them and teach them how to make the "th" sound when speaking words that needed it. i remember there was some word that I always pronounced with an F (or, maybe, a ph) instead of a th and she taught me the way to make the th sound and I never had a pwobwem wiv it ever sins! Why doesn't that happen over there?
