In a B-grade teener movie, A insists that he's unable to understand B's speech.

"Why do you keep talking like that, man? It's really weird! I can't
understand you!"

And why is that?

Well, B pronounces _wh-_ as [hw-].

Personally, I'm considering skipping the middle stage and going
straight to [v-].

Say vot?
