Things change mainly due to popular usage. For me it matters not how one pronounces anything if the idea is successfully communicated.
I wonder how folk from say five hundred years ago would react...
Once I was very correct because of my work and I guess the exposure to the pedantic preoccupation with the sort of trivial matters folk here say annoys them finally got to me...so I'm gonna say who gives a rat's...When I was young it was so much about how you pronounced the letter "H" ... so trivial.

And you could not say "got" and no doubt there are still folk who burr up when you say got or pronounce "H" the other way...And use this to somehow kid themselves they they are somehow better...sad..small minded in a small world.
