> No, I'm arguing that correcting people when they're not wrong has no place Except you just argued that pronouncing Kyoto and Tokyo with an "ee" sound is okay and I just pointed out the real world consequences of not correcting their pronunciation, namely that native speakers won't be able to understand you. You'll probably argue English speakers don't need to interact with Japanese speakers. I'd argue if we just corrected the English speakers pronunciation everybody wins.
