That is not a big issue, a non Telugu person might not know it, even until a week ago I have never heard "sachyam", someone said that recently to me and I understood it as "satyam" as soon as he said it.
Afterall that is how dialects are formed, in Rayalaseema they say Pendli for marriage while in Andhra they say PeLLi but both understand each other.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Like you say, in exams the teacher might mark it wrong; but in a non-academic setting we can not look at it as a right or wrong.

But do you really think these so called teacher's have such deep linguistic knowledge, if they did Telugu wouldn't be in the pathetic state it is today with the morons using English half the time (the teacher should emphasise purity of language at least in the Telugu class).
The reality is that many of them are not such experts which is why they mark it as wrong. I know because I had such a bunch of pathetic teachers for my Hindi and Telugu classes.
Your friend is wrong, because I asked people about "sachyam" and they say some people use it, so it's not like some individual person mispronouncing it in which case it would make sense to say it's wrong. The only reason people claim it is wrong is because it is not used in writing, it is no different from Sanskrit Brahmana becoming Baapana/BEmmadu (Paarppanan in Tamizh is related to this) in Telugu but those are considered right because they can be used in writing.
