Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: Single-syllable words like "v40" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.

When "v40" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "v40 is" sounds like "v40-iz").
