In English (well, OK, UK, US, Australian and NZ English, at least, but I suspect all English), “of” is pronounced with the ‘v’ sound, as “ov”. This helps to distinguish it from “off,” a separate word (meaning “not on”), pronounced with the ‘f’ sound.

Do we really feel like we’re doomed? In fact, I don’t think the types of errors you are pointing out aren’t even worth worrying about, given that even the BBC can’t seem to properly choose between “to” and “too”. There’s” (instead of “there are”) seems to be used and accepted by more or less everybody these days. What my history is?
Is humanity doomed? Thankfully, in almost all cases, it doesn’t really matter.
