I'm pretty certain I had never heard "speaking too" or "speaks too" in place of "speaking of"/"speaks of" prior to 10 years or so ago. I first noticed Americans using it in interviews or on podcasts. Now it seems to be everywhere and many British people use it frequently.
Was this always part of British English and I hadn't noticed? I presume it has a longer provenance in US English?
