I often mispronounce my SH sounds as simple S sounds, and occasionally I let my R sounds fall kind of flat, but it's mostly being lazy when talking.
This is probably related but on a wider scale. There's a mild speech disorder where you basically lack proper word-mouth coordination. I've got this disorder. It usually only happens when I'm excited, upset, or otherwise distracted. What happens is words, sometimes extremely random and out-of-context words, will come out instead of the words I mean. It's similar to a Freudian Slip but the words are completely random (though sometimes the substituted word rhymes or sounds similar to the intended word and rarely it will be a word in the same category). For example, I once told my girlfriend I was going to "ride my car to class," when I meant bike (we don't even have a car). We might have bought bananas at the grocery store, and when we get home I say "Hand me one of those oranges!" even though I swear I was saying Banana. Those are category examples, though. The more random ones are harder to come up with examples since they don't make sense even in retrospect. Something like "Argh, I can't find my hammer!" "What? the hammer is in the closet." "HUH? Hammer? I thought I said 'mp3 player,' but whatever, I still can't find it."
I constantly get people telling me "uh...... Don't you mean such-and-such?" and I don't even realize I said something else. My girlfriend says I just don't pay enough attention to what I'm saying, but it can still happen even when I try specifically to say the correct words, and still the wrong word comes out. I've had some people tell me it might be a form of autism or Asperger's Syndrome (some sort of dissociation between words and the concepts they represent) or something like that, but it's not a big enough nuisance that I need to see a doctor about it.
It's only REALLY inconvenient when I'm ordering food, and nobody realizes I meant something else because they can't read my mind. sweatdrop As long as I don't do a lot of public speaking I doubt it will ever truly be a problem.
