Some Filipinos P as F like fefsi for pepsi, flywood for plywood. I was told that in some countries. G is changed to B, B to P. In Thailand L to N. In Japan L to R. A Japanese once said, You are very rocky (lucky), your husband robs (loves)you. Do you know of some examples?

The Thais will pronounce ball as bon. Some middle eastern people will say bad for pad. Here in the Philippines anyword that starts in f is oftentimes pronounced as p like pood for food, plea for flea etc. Some very rude people will say pack you for that nasty four-letter word. Funny isn't it but no offence intended, just plain and curious observations.
