The difference between different types of discussions

Well, you kind of went off-topic first.

I did go off topic first but I was not talking about going off-topic.

I was saying that the differences between the Punjabi and Hindi speakers, is irrelevant to the discussion. Since the discussion is about about how to speak Punjabi accurately.

There is nothing wrong with native Punjabi speakers saying Sidh Gost and Guru Hargobind instead of Sidh Gosti and Guru Harigobind.

There is nothing wrong with it, as long as it is recognized to be slang or informal pronunciation and not the correct pronunciation of those words, especially by those who seek to learn the correct pronunciation of Gurbani.

See the examples I gave earlier -

ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਸਰ is correctly pronounced as Amritsar, not Ambarsar.

ਹਰਿਮੰਦਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ is correctly pronounced as Harimandar Sahib, not Harmandar Saab.

ਸਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ is correctly pronounced as Satye Shree Akaal, not Sasreekaal.

Here the common way of pronouncing the words, is wrong or informal or slang.

 

Add these to the above list -

ਸਿਧ ਗੋਸਟਿ is correctly pronounced as Siddh Goshti, not as Sidh Gost.

ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ is correctly pronounced as Guru Hari Gobind, not as Guru Hargobind.
