 From the posts here on Taxacom, I get exactly the opposite sense: that 
it is the Europeans who whine about the way Anglophones pronounce Latin, 
and how they can't possibly be expected to learn it, whereas the 
Anglophones are willing to learn new pronunciations and adapt to their 
audiences, as long as others don't tell them that their centuries-old 
rules for pronunciation in their native language are an aberration.
