You got me ... maybe because he's an idiot. Everyone else, I think they just do it by accident.

the pronunciation comes form different cultures
its like if you spoke a different language, and then learned english
you would get some of the words wrong, and form certain habits

because any way you say it, it is difficult especially if you don't have a good ear for sounds. we call them tone deaf they have problems with music and language.

Incredible, isn't it? There's even a really easy way to remember how to say it correctly --

NEW
CLEAR

I don't understand the problem either.
