Summary/Abstract: The article points out the spelling problems of Bulgarian words containing letters л and у. These problems are related with the mass incorrect articulation of Bulgarian alveodental consonant [l] as [ŭ] and its perception. Previous publications prove the existence of this issue which we consider in the frame of the Theory of Language Management. We hypothesize that the problem is ubiquitous and deep enough yet in primary school. So our goal is to set a discussion on the need of special attention to this topic. An experiment is presented with 84 8 – 9 year-old students in four primary schools – two of them situated in Blagoevgrad, one in Varna, and 1 in Popovitsa. The results prove our hypothesis and show a strong tendency towards spelling mistakes in words containing the Cyrillic letters л and у.
