I enjoyed your entry as it's so common in my part of the country because Hispanics traditionally cannot pronounce v, b, d, and p correctly in words, which makes for some hilarious miscues in the reading classes. We've had "bictorious," "debious," "relebant," etc, and no matter how much we work on correct pronunciation, it doesn't happen because the mispronunciation is based on one's heritage language, and those roots go deep.
