"Does evewyone in Gweat Bwitain have twouble pwonouncing the letter "r", or just the ones who get hired as wadio weporters for the BBC? "

Shouldn't that have read:

Does evewyone in Gweat Bwitain have twouble pwonouncing the letter "w", or just the ones who get hiwed as wadio wepowtews fow the BBC?
