Can anyone assure me that charlmartell's posts actually exist? Just in case I'm having a paranoid schizophrenic episode and imagining this rather obsessive critic of mine.
Which I never said.
I meant start. A very silly mistake to make, but there you go. Edited by Cainntear on 21 July 2009 at 2:05pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I read somewhere that, especially in Latin America, the two are confused with one another, and while Spanish spelling is largely phonetic, this is probably the main exception.

As far as we have been able to determine from the fifty-five or so times this issue has been discussed before, the two pronunciations are not confused anywhere, though they might be more distinctly separate in some variants.
On the other hand b and v are pronounced the same, and they are supposed to, no confusion there. (with one possible really special exception that someone brought up, but I can't remember what it was right now, and not everyone was convinced about it) On both of these points it makes no difference whether we look at Latin American or European Spanish, at least not the main variants - it is always possible that an isolated area somewhere turns out to be different but there hasn't been anything convincing along those lines up to now.
