It's not an impediment it's how he learned to pronounce certain words.
I don't think there is any offense made here so non should be taken. It's an impediment that's it. A lisp is not a tooth accent. Speech control is degenerative in itself. People with hearing loss (hearing impediment) have nothing to be ashamed of.
