LernTayrah,
“Nefesh Hachayim made this point as well.”
I don�t think The Nefesh Hachayim (end of SH 4) is referring to this case. He is speaking as a general term. I will quote:

“Rav Shwab famously said about the Satmar Rebbe that he would have accepted him as his rebbe if not for the zman krias shma thing which the Satmar Rebbe ignored”
Sorry, but you seem to be confusing the two. No way did he “ignore” Zman KR�S. While he davened after zman tefilah, he indeed did say KR�S at the earliest zman. As for your claim, only total Am Haaratzim are not aware about KS, in fact, most shuls inc. Chassidim have signs in large print reminding all about Zman K�S!
“Pronunciations- litvish said Ay rhymes with pay. In Brisk they still speak of �tayreh�. Anyone who had a litvish rebbe knows it�s Teyreh not Toyrah.”
While you are correct about the older Livish etc …However, in Brisk they do NOT pronounce “ay” at Krias haTorah nor at Krias Shema. That’s a fact, so obviously it is not the halachakly correct…
