And can we all just take a moment to appreciate the maliciousness involved in the creation of the word “lisp”, as people who have one cannot correctly pronounce it?

I used to have a lisp, but gradually grew out of it.
I still struggle if there’s a th and an s sound right next to each other, which fortunately doesn’t happen often.
But if you pay attention when I say “clothes”, you’ll notice I’m actually saying “cloves”.

It’s not a lisp, but one of my bosses can’t say “Always.”
“Owies.”

Isn’t that how it’s pronounced? I was always told off (coming from my Spanish accent) for pronouncing the “l” between the a and the w.

I’m sure there are regional variations (like with everything), but in Southern Ontario we very much usually say “ALL-ways,” albeit with a slightly shorter “L” sound.
It’s a little like how Americans think we say “Aboot.” As a general rule, we don’t. We say “About.” Americans, however, say “Ab-oww-t” which makes the Canadian “About” sound more like “Aboot” than theirs does.
And so on. And so forth.

Do you smoke between every time that you have sex?

You’d laugh if you knew how many times I’d said the word “always” out loud to myself after reading the original post!
I definitely don’t pronounce the “L” clearly. At first I’d thought I wasn’t pronouncing it at all, but I decided that it’s not quite that simple. I’m taking a shortcut, but there’s a sort of subtle substitute for the “L” happening in its place which is appreciably different to what happens if I try to drop the “L” entirely.

This reminds me about there not being an L in Milwaukee.

This. My tongue begins its way to the teeth to make the defined L sound but doesn’t quite make it before retreating as my mouth makes the ‘ways’ sound. So there is something there but not quite an L
