Apparently, whether or not one pronounces a V sound in Spanish at all is a regional thing. Anyone feel free to correct me on this, but from my understanding, Mexicans *do* pronounce the V, while Catalons (and most Continental Spanish) have no V sound and pronounce it as a B.
Which leads to some really strange words like, "bolleyball."
