As one who had a speech impediment when I was a kid, I know its pretty hard to overcome. Even now I will have occassional trouble. I think it does have to be dealt with when one is a child or it becomes habit.

I had a strong lisp when I was a kid that was corrected through speech therapy.
I still have a strong case of dork voice though. I don't think that would be easy to cure because I don't know that I have it until I hear myself recorded. |

Had speech therapy 12 years ago to correct a lisp by changing where my tongue "rests" in my mouth. Now I have trouble with 'r' consonants following 'w' or 'l' consonants, changing the intended order of a spoken sentence, and on one occasion I repeated the same sentence over-and-over again until prompted to stop. Don't think that this is connected to the conscious creation of sound in your nose, mouth, and throat.

I know nothing about this, but it seems feasible to me that a person could have some weird issue with neurology or have a malformed tongue muscle or lip muscle that could prevent "normal" speech.
I must admit that I do find it a little odd to run across an adult who can't pronounce certain letters, but I figure there must be some reason that they can't fix it.

A lot of it is muscle memory and mechanics and those are difficult and take time, therapy and practice to hopefully retrain.
