I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania populated by Polish
immigrants, so I heard English spoken with a Polish accent every day
for the first 22 years of my life. These immigrants came to the US in
the late 1800s and early 1900s. I never once heard any of them
substitute [f v] for [T D]. All of the used the Polish [t d], which is
formed with the tongue and upper teeth, and not with both upper and
lower teeth as in English.

??? With the lower teeth?
