Personally I think however it may be understood is all the "correctness" needed.
I noticed a afaik unique pronunciation of 'almond' when my wife and I lived in California. Many there pronounce the 'l'... where everyplace else I've been the 'l' is silent. One might argue that since California grows almonds they should know the correct pronunciation. BTW, I love pecans regardless of how you say it.
