I don't get too bent out of shape about pronunciation in general. For example, when talking to someone from "Kebek", I answer to "ood-suhn" without missing a beat, despite the fact that there's a giant bay right next to them with the same name (and a small town, too, if I remember correctly... I wonder how they pronounce that?).

There's a strong tendency to focus on the words themselves and not try to grok the intended meaning. We do it here a lot. Not naming names, though, we all do it. It's the internet.
