>>I could probably introduce another twist on this by speaking English with a strong Japanese accent. In Japanese there is no distinct "L" or "R" sound, but a sound that is intermediate between "L" sound from English and a rolled "R" of Spanish. As Japanese-speaking people us the same intermediate sound for both "L" and "R" most English-speaking people are likely to hear it as a transposition of "L" and "R". Also since there isn't really a "V" sound, a "B" would frequently be substituted as well during transliteration (I do recall hearing that there are some regional dialects in Spanish where there is a similar sort of quirk where "B" and "V" are hard to distinguish).

I keep forgetting in which American dialects it sounds like "R"s are get dropped and inserted elsewhere

wash --> warsh

I mostly speak with a Californian accent -- though I've been told that it tends to "morph" during the conversation (I unconsciously mimic the accent of the other person)
