Thing is, as we all know language is constantly changing. Pronunciation in Middle English is far different from today, with shared words.
When it comes to learning English, the system is very proscriptive ("rules is rules") not only in basic grammar, punctuation, and spelling, but also in pronunciation. This supresses local dialect in schools and 'leaks over' into personal life.
