Yes, I meant 'v' pronounced as 'w' - I have really heard it somewhere.
Yrch! In that case, you have my total sympathy - that would be an abomination. The only excuse I could imagine for such execrable pronunciation would be a bizarre lisp. I have honestly never heard any English speaker of Latin pronounce "v" as "w" - it would ruin the sound of my all-time favourite pun - from The First War of Indian Independence - "peccavi."
