Vat do you say Ven?

[Dr. Doolittle]

I can\'t understand why most Indians don\'t know the difference between pronouncing a \"V\" and a \"W\", or to simpify it, a \"We\". They are two completely different letters that use completely different mouth parts to pronounce. Are we not being taught the differences in school? Is it because in languages like Hindi and Telugu, there is no letter \"W\"? I suppose it is similar to people of Bengali origin using \"V\'s\" for \"B\'s\", since there are no \"V\'s\" in the language. What surprises me is that we are not consistent with usage either - it\'s not like we use only \"V\'s\" or only \"W\'s\". We interchange them whenever we feel like it. For instance, Diwali is written with a \"w\" eventhough there is no \"w\" in the language, and even though in Hindi you\'d use a \"va\" to write it. What is wrong? People talk about Germans having problems with interchanging V\'s and W\'s and some Asians with L\'s and R\'s, but we are in that club too, eventhough we\'ve had a lot more exposure to the English than some others have!
