The pronunciation of spoon and sboon I read some rules about liaisons, "If the first consonant is voiced, the next one will be as well. If the first one is unvoiced, the second one will sound unvoiced, no matter what you do." According to this, the word spoon, the first letter "s" is unvoiced consonant, so the second one "p" should be pronounced unvoiced "p", not voiced "b". Actually it is exactly same with the pronunciation of sboon. Maybe I misunderstand about the rules, who can help to clarify it? Thanks.
