Summary/Abstract: In previous research we have proved that the articulation of the Bulgarian consonant [l] as [ŭ] in all positions except the position before the front vowels [e] and [i] is an expansive phenomenon especially among the young people. This paper presents the results of a pilot experiment which main goal is to prove the assumption that this incorrect articulation leads to a relevant perception and could be a reason for spelling mistakes. The respondents in the experiment are forty one students in fifth and sixth grade which mother tongue is Bulgarian. The results indicate an evident tendency towards deepening in spelling mistakes as a result of the incorrect articulation of the consonant [l].
