| Dec 24, 2021 at 4:37 | comment | added | Shmuel Goldstein | I had an expert read through all the Haskamot in a copy that he had and there is NO mention of "Gedolai Yisrael bemoaning the situation of how people have strayed from dikduk and are mispronouncing words." He doesn't provide a page number or the exact words used, so this is unreliable information. | |

| Aug 16, 2012 at 22:47 | comment | added | Menachem | I didn't read the Haskamot inside, but @Yishai has a point. How do we know they were complaining about the same customs the Chassidim developed regarding pronunciation. Maybe they were referring to earlier disagreements regarding pronunciation, as brought in this answer: judaism.stackexchange.com/a/10183/603 . Alternatively, perhaps they were complaining about the action of individuals, and not group-wide, systematic pronunciations. -- (of course, reading it inside could clear this up) | |

| Aug 16, 2012 at 18:41 | comment | added | yoel | This then raises the question of at what point "ignorance" results in a legitimate pronunciation. | |

| Aug 16, 2012 at 18:19 | comment | added | jake | @DoubleAA, The title of the blog post in the link is "Chasidim Mispronouncing words is due to lack of proper education". He seems to follow the logic that if the Haskalah reason is untrue as he shows, it must be just ignorance. | |
