I dont know why you believe thats how language works, its not. Everyone in Texas pronouncing "nuclear" "nukular" instead of "noo-clee-ar" doesn't make it correct. It still comes from the root word "nucleus", not "nukulus". The majority are objectively wrong, and there are no arguments to be made to the contrary.
If you want to be wrong on purpose, go for it, just stop pretending otherwise. You're embarrassing yourself and all English speakers.
Neat.
