Consonants and processes affecting consonants

D and T

In most cases, especially word initially, the interdental fricatives are replaced by other sounds, most commonly [ð] > [d] and [θ] > [t]; e.g. dat (that); tings (things). Sometimes there are dental stop realizations rather than alveolar stops; and less commonly an aspirated alveolar [t^h], thus some speakers produced [t^hænks] for thanks.
