I came across this story in The Sun today, and thought it was quite interesting... a few people I know have had frenectomies (snipping the 'web' under the tongue so the tongue can extend further out) as their tongue web was stopping them getting a tongue piercing.. Apparently the NHS will do the operation if the web is affecting your speech, catching in your teeth while you speak, or if it causes you problems with oral sex. Strange to think the structure of your tongue can affect your speaking of one language, but not another!
Oh, and I don't deliberatly read The Sun, it's a load of sensationalist trash, but it's the only news site that loads properly on my work computer! :(
