I come across a similar situation with my Mexican parishioners.
I'll receive notes from them with [h] where it doesn't belong &
omitted where it does belong.

Likewise, there is confusion between [y] and [ll] and between [c]
and [z].

This, of course, is not due to any attempts at "posh."  I think it
merely reflects a less-than-thorough education.
