Before criticizing Ina about pronunciation, perhaps you should clean up your grammar mistakes. You write in run-ons. It should be My fellow Greeks and I, not me and my fellow Greeks. My grandparents were German and British, but they had international neighbors, so we cooked foods from many cultures, including Greek (spanakopita, dolmades, baklava, etc.). Anyone who knows anything about cooking realizes each family, region, etc. puts a different spin on classic recipes. There isn't just one way to make spanakopita or any other dish. People also pronounce things differently, depending upon their region, country, etc.
Good cooks always do riffs upon classic recipes. Recipes are not written in stone; they can be adapted to suit individual tastes. It's fun to rework the classics. When I taught English Literature and Writing, we often discussed the way each reader "rewrites" classic texts in his/her mind. Humans interact with each other through space and time that way.
Since you wrote your rant, butter has been rehabilitated, so Ina's food isn't as unhealthy as you might think.
