You're a smart cookie, Clod, so this question is probably redundant... But are you sure it's stupidity/ ignorance fuelling those mis-pronunciations?
In English English they are completely correct (although I was taught draw-ing not draw-ring).
I do know what you mean re authors not meeting expectations though.
It's horrible to watch interviews where they mawth and mumble when you only knew them from their wonderfully verbose creations.
