This is, perhaps, the stupidest question ever posted here. But it's something I've been wondering about for a while.
Okay, so, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home? Chekhov keeps saying "nuclear wessels" instead of vessels, and as I'm studying Russian now, I'm confused, because it doesn't look like there is a "w" sound in the language. (Unless I am completely stupid.) So what I'm wondering is if this is just absolutely horrid writing on their part or if there is a valid reason why a native Russian speaker would say "wessels" instead of "vessels".
I know, I know, I need a life.

Seriously, I had to listen to a special lecture from my English teacher to finally understand the difference between the two.
