Pronunciation is learned. Why did John F. Kennedy say Cuber? Talk to a black person in London and hear how erudite they can sound. What annoys me is for people to think that correct pronunciation is a “cop-out” in some way. Correct pronunciation in any language identifies you as a learned person. If you wish to appear unlearned to others, use incorrect pronunciation in formal settings. I was in Arkansas last month and the grammar and pronunciation I heard from the average white person was remarkably atrocious.
