[DoubleGlazing]

I grew up with a Rhotacism, I pronounced my Rs like Ws.

For me the biggest issue was bullying. My first name is Robert, so I became known as Wobert. What also didn't help was that I was born in England and moved to Northern Ireland in the mid-80s. My non-rhotic English accent made me a target for bullying like you wouldn't believe.

I spent my teenage years working on fixing it by myself. Just sitting practicing my speech. Eventually I lost my English accent and sort-of fixed my rhotacism. I say sort-of my Rs sound like Rs, but they ae very flat and I can't roll them at all.

Occasionally I'll mispronounce an R as a W, but usually that only happens when I'm tired or very distracted.
