ayc, thanks for posting the link to a previous thread on this topic. While lack of proper pronunciation in words does bother me to some extent, it’s not such a problem. It becomes a real problem when the meaning of the word is changed or lost because of incorrect pronunciation. (Such as the example I wrote about in that thread: “V’zaro mevakaish lachem”. It should be pronounced LAchem, not laCHEM, because that would change the meaning of the word.)
