Interestingly I\'m studying this controversial phenomenon at the Department of Linguistics at Aberystwyth University and my extraordinary discoveries wholeheartedly contradict the publicised findings regarding the relative difficulty of instantly translating sentences. My researchers developed a convenient contraption at http://www.aardvarkbusiness.net/tool that demonstrates that the hypothesis uniquely warrants credibility if the assumption that the preponderance of your words is not extended is unquestionable. Apologies for adopting a contradictory viewpoint but, theoretically speaking, lengthening the words can manufacture an incongruous statement that is virtually incomprehensible. ▲ Collapse

Well, it is not really that OF is always pronounced [@v], try for example 'of course'.

Unless you speak (like I do) one of the many English dialects that tend to devoice final consonants. Then "of" is nearly always said /@f/ !
