Trébol / Trevor
Skip to: comments (0); categories; related posts; previous/next postMore evidence that our /l/ and /r/ constitute a single phoneme for many Spanish speakers: At Starbucks they always write your name on the cup so that the coffee machine operative can say “Have a nice day, [your name]!” When I give the name “Trevor” it often gets converted into “Trébol”, so this evening I said “Trébol” and the adorable Cuban behind the bar carefully wrote “Trévor”.
