A good way to shut those fuckers up is get them to say 'Red lolly, yellow lorry' ten times fast. Watch them get amazingly confused.

Yeah or how people think the V in Latin is pronounced as either the W in Eng. wine or the V in Eng. vine because they've literally never heard (of) approximants.

The V in Latin is clearly pronounced "five"

The Japanese equivalent is typically romanized as an r consonant (ra, re, ri, ro, ru) but as others have said, it's not exactly an r sound so it goes both ways.

I have issues with r and w sounds sometimes and one short phrase that I've found really helpful to enunciate clearly is Irish Wristwatch. Something about being in the Midwest where everybody has to talk at Mach speed just fucks people up trying to say it out loud.

I know a guy with an East Indian background whose accent has that 'W' and 'V' mix-up thing, and I find it fascinating because it seems to go both ways? Also I think he leans into it, because his sibling doesn't pronounce things like that. Possible they were raised differently I guess, either way it's fascinating.

Is that a Spanish thing? I know in the American Southwest there's a similar 'P'/'V' mix, but I'm not sure if that's directly from Spanish or from its permutations in the colonies. The term 'buckaroo' comes from the Spanish word for cowboy, 'vaquero', for example.

I always love "hoosegow", which comes from juzgado, which is etymologically exactly the same word as "judged"

I think Hungarian has a similar thing with 'S' and 'SZ'. I should really know that, because my last name has that thing going on too.
