That is a terrible attitude. When speaking a foreign language one should always try to pronounce it at the best of your abilities, and also seek to improve pronounciation over time.

 @AizeenAk It's not sad but admirable. They show respect towards a foreign languace and don't wish to insult native speakers by completely butchering it.

@AizeenAk That's not to say I think it's right to demand from foreign speakers to speak your language perfectly. It's important to be generous and encouraging towards non-native speakers who try. However in some posts here I see people say that they should basically give up in pronouncing english correctly and "embracing" their accent. And I find that to be a lazy and insulting attitude.
