When I try to beep, it comes out berp.

If I try to complain about something beeping, I end up complaining that it’s berping.

What is wrong with me? It’s driving me binkers.

I suspect that when I was a kid, there must have been a TV show where a character’s accent made beep sound like berp, and it stuck in my head.

Does anyone here berp when they beep? If you do, what is your nationality?
