Does it show ignorance to improperly pronounce plant names?

In particular:

Hy-drain-juh..... instead of..... hy-dran-gee-uh
ar-bur-vite-uh..... instead of..... arb-or-vite-e
mag-nole-uh..... instead of..... mag-no-lee-uh
fole-idge..... instead of..... fol-ee-idge

There are others, but these seem particularly noticeable around here.

Or is this simply a regional slang issue?
