Heck, with all the cultural spread all over the human-settled portion of the galaxy, there's probably going to be enough dialect variation that whichever pronunciation is "wrong" will still be used in at least some systems.
I doubt that RFC will reply to this with anything more than a grin and "Tum, te, tum, te, tum..."

Maybe. But more movement as well as video and films seem to generally crush dialects and accents. "Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news", so now it's mostly old people in the south who 'speak southern'. OK, not really, but there is big difference.
