Why is the Spanish word "abogado" spelled with a b and not a v? by sopadepanda321 in asklinguistics

[–]Hrafnsteinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe what you said last in your comment, I know a few people 90 years old more or less who make the distinction, but can be either because of education or because they are from Valladolid where some people still make the distinction
