I get what you're saying, but technically we don't really know the pronunciation of the Latin ancients spoke. So the "modern" pronunciation of Latin words (for example, meus being pronounced "MAY-oos") can certainly differ from how, say, Caesar pronounced it. And this isn't me trying to prove my point, I just enjoy arguing :)
