This is an old post, but I figured I'd update it since there hasn't been a definitive answer to the question.

Although learning Spanish is fairly common in the US, mastering the phonology and phonetics of the language is not. In English, we have to separate sounds for the letters "b" and "v." The letter "b" makes a "buh" sound as in baseball; by contrast, "v" makes a "vuh" sound, as in volume.

The situation in Spanish is different. There is no phonetic difference between the two letters - they both make the "buh" sound like the English letter "b." It's especially common with illiterate or less educated Spanish speakers to mistake the two letters in writing since they're depending on the way the word sounds. Hence, native speakers may spell the word "saber," which means "to know - facts, not people" as "saver."
