LOL... here is what I thought of:

Unfortunately, when I was a kid, I had a slight speech problem, and had trouble with "s" and "sh." I would say "sh" instead of "s." This obiously led to trouble saying the word "Sit."

It's funny that this was the first thing I thought of; the cool thing is that I overcame it, and now I'm in a business where I speak publicly, to large groups, on a routine basis!

My mother tongue is English, although I also speak Swedish and Spanish. Swedish my my dad's first language.

When I hear sit I usually sit. It all depends on how the tone of voice is. Ive been command to sit like someone was commanding a dog. Sit is more of a command than anything.

My native language is American English with Midwestern Colloquialisms such as Cheese Toastie, Soda Pop, I sometimes say Wash - Warsh and I say Creek like Crick. And sometimes I say Missoura instead of Missouri . Just some of my colloquialisms

well, I know this will sound ridiculous but I will say it! My grandma, a farmer living in a remote village, who hasn't finished as much as 3rd grade (in the '20s...!), says "Sheeet!" which is a local exclamation meaning sth like "what?!" or "go away!" My native language is greek :)
