Take a look from the other side: If the world decides that the way we've been spelling something doesn't match modern pronunciation and decides to improve that spelling, the dictionary should keep scolding us into out-of-date spelling and pronunciation? Language changes - that's why the dictionary doesn't look like…

Ugh - can we not do this, at all, please? It's just a way for people to denigrate non-standard regional accents and dialects.
