I think it is just a teensy bit arrogant for anyone to decide that we are in galus for reasons which have no real legs to them. We are in galus because of very real aveiros that am Yisroel committed a long time ago during Bayis Sheini. Because we continue to commit many of these aveiros, we have not yet merited to see the Binyan Bayis Shlishi. To attribute our long exile of over 1900 years to the mispronunciation of words when those words were not even pronounced that way until around 200 years ago, is just illogical. A lot of rabbonim say a lot of things are the cause of our tzoros. Some of them are right, and some may be trying to illustrate a certain point, but that does not mean that what they say is correct. BTW, the most authentic pronunciation of Hebrew words in the Torah and our tefila, probably is sefardic (I am not sefardic).
