I'm thinking it's a regional thing and this guy is from my general region, it's totally a thing out here. The letter "T" is really only useful on paper, people use "D" when they speak for the most part for "T" (except for T's followed by an "h"), and "J" is any "D" when followed by an "r". Side note, i found it jarring when I was younger and saw a Superman cartoon for the first time, and all the characters were pronouncing "Luthor" as "Luthor", not "Luther"
Haha same here. And to add onto the Luthor bit, everyone I know pronounces "-or" and "-er" words as "-ir". Pretty much everybody agrees it sounds stupid, but nobody has the power to stop it.
I mean, we don't think it sounds stupid, it's just normal. I'd not have noticed if i hadn't spent so long abroad, where people though my accent was peculiar, and later laughed often when they'd hear my voice revert halfway through overheard phone calls home. That and owning a bar in my home region and often listening to the wildly different accents people rolling through. Englishmen berating me for my pronunciation of words like "Wilstshire" and "Cheshire", "Jaguar", "Brown Sauce" while they order a Kokanee but pronounce it "Cocainee"
