Something to do with how it became "politically uncorrect" to correct the mispronunciations of kids...so they grew up never knowing the difference..

The English school system did this ( maybe still does?)..witness .."cestifacate"( I'm presuming thats how one would spell this "variant" ) for certificate...or even Ms Sweeney's "haitch's" on CNN..( in all other respects I like the lady's presentation but "haitch" always did make me cringe ..

The best English on CNN is from the non Brits ...

BTW ..anyone know or can hazard a guess ( clean ) why Becky Anderson jitters about so much ...?

I think "cestifacate" might have something to do with Steve Wright on Radio 2...

Don't think so.. I'm older than you and I can remember it happening when I was at school ( one of those "Harry Potter" type places where everyone was dressed as fruitbats ..and some were both..) ...built agile minds and bodies ..so they said .
