English is a mess but the pronunciation seems to be fault tolerant. Most skilled speakers can understand people that butcher the complicated pronunciation because it is highly diverse even among native speakers that notionally speak the same dialect. I do wonder if the extreme globalization of English has distilled a robust core that is pronunciation resistant. I have noticed that international English makes word choices that limit pronunciation ambiguity.
