Reverse snob? Being able to distinguish wh from w has its advantages.  It
makes it easier to distinguish were from where in sentences.  The Wh is
something like this W(done with a breathy exhalation sound -not a loud one,
but soft ) If your native language has the h as silent, you you may find it
hard to do, and makes it hard to explain. .   I won't get into in what area
of Canada it is common -certainly not in the Prairies, but possibly in
British Columbia especially Victoria which has a large (or had) a large
British Population.  I haven't lived in Ontario and the friends I know who
did, are either Dutch immigrants or the children of such.

Hi Theo,

Icelandic <hv> is pronounced [xw] only in the north-western fjords.
Everywhere else it is [kv]. There are a couple of other phonological
distinctions made in the North-West.

  “Hi,
  Better: ...Icelandic, written <hv> can ALSO be
  pronounced [kv].
