Does That's very sweet of you in the US sound like That's very sweef you?

Answer
I believe what you are hearing is just an example of "connected speech". When anyone speaks in their native language they do not stop after each word, but one word naturally runs into the next. To a British English speaker like myself, many American pronunciations of the letter 'T' sound more like a 'D'. As it is easier for a 'D' sound to merge with the 'F' sound in "of", you are probably noticing this more with American accents that with British.
