Hey there are also speach impediment's, I can not name the number of time's my family have burst out laughing when all I said was I am just going to Sit Down, you see I have a lisp, now a lisp make's my 'S' sound like a very mild 'Sh'.
Children though are the best and it is just cute on a child but not an adult, Police Ocifer, Sgabetti etc.
