What causes people to so badly mispronounce words sometimes?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46814points) May 20th, 2015

Example 1) My sister had a friend who often mispronounced words. You know that song that has the lyrics, “Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future”? Her friend would sing, “Time keeps on slitching, slitching, slitching, into the future.”

Example 2) My step daughter will often add “L’s” where there are none. For example, she’ll say “bral,” instead of “bra.”

What’s going on there?
