Here's another one that has started really annoying me lately.
urning -thing into -think as in "I didn't see anythink at all" or "Nothink
would persuade me to speak to him" or "There must be somethink to it".

And even worse when the "th" gets traded for an "f" as well ...

It is so common to hear this on the TV now, even from people that you would
otherwise consider to be 'well-spoken' and well educated.

I first heard 'anythink' appear in Brookside, maybe in the 1990's
maybe earlier. It got on my tits then and it still does.
