[Avodah] Correcting Baalei Kriah

[Ben Waxman via Avodah]

Ikkar ha-din, someone who  can't properly enunciate Hebrew letters isn't 
allowed to pray from the amud, never mind read the Torah or Haftorah.  I 
don't know if there is a need to correct someone who consistently makes 
mistakes but there is certainly no reason to allow him to read at all if 
he can't do it properly.

As an aside: one of my rabbis said that RYBS didn't correct someone in 
class who made mistakes reading the Gemara text but if someone made a 
mistake with a pasuk in the Gemara, then the Rav let him have it.
