This is a riot: beauty becomes booty!!! Gives a whole new meaning to the term "booty call". I guess we will end up with the language Cityspeak from "Blade Runner".

‘Th’ is already replaced with a ‘v’ in parts of England.

If someone says “wiff” instead of “with,” it still sounds ignorant .

The ‘th’ sounds, there are two of them, are rare in the world’s languages. Most adult foreigners are never able to master them.

So Brits are going to start talking like New Yorkers? Irish immigrants couldn’t pronounce the ‘th’ which is why New Yorkers used to say ‘turty-turd-and-turd” rather than thirty third and third. But that changed over the years and it’s rare to hear that accent anymore.

Hasn’t the ‘d’ and ‘th’ already disappeared in ‘Murcan ghettos?
ie: ‘Dindu Nuffin!’
And this from multi-generational ‘Murcans. (Granted, I’m talking about feral hoodrats, but I guess that is equivalent to the immigrants in London.)

The name ‘Anthony’ is pronounced ‘Antony’ in Britain. But there is still a ‘th’ sound in some words with ‘th’.

Linguists have also predicted that the future direction of English will be determined in India, simply by the sheer number of speakers.
Soon we will all be doing the needful.
