Serious question- why do chasidim continue to hold on to the (seemingly incorrect) pronunciation of Hebrew words (I.e. choosid vs chasid)?

It sometimes alters the meaning of some words in Torah and tefila to make no sense in the proper pronunciation…. I know changing with the times is not exactly the chassidish forte, but perhaps this is an area in which globalization can play a positive role in the evolution of Hebrew pronouncination.
