More importantly, why do so many nerds have lisps and speech problems?
Among other things, it could be linked to some brain wiring stuff for how we learn. I had a speech impediment as a child and my biggest issue was r sounds. Weird in hindsight but I also was reading middle school material by the time I was finishing first grade so. :/ Who knows, maybe the fact I was not socializing as much was why I didn't get exposed to how r sounds are pronounced enough to naturally pick up on it.There's also that brief period as an infant where I was deaf for a few weeks or months and afterwards I became extremely picky.
But then there's tons of other nerds I've met who had speech impediments as kids too.
Most outgrow them. But then I have met more than a few who still have them. Lots of wa wu wo noises on sounds that shouldn't have them.
You sure you're not just from Boston? We all have issues with the lettah 'R' ---
