I think that was the point. If someone mispronounced "Mintakan" or something, your average television viewer wouldn't know it until the other characters said something. If someone mispronounces "Klingon", though, Joe Couchpotato can say to himself "ha-ha, that dork said 'Klingon' wrong; what a moron".

I suspect their intentions were not so that people would think the admiral was stupid, but more so that the audience would understand that 'Klingons' were not common knowledge in the timeframe of this new show. It's pretty clever actually, because it's pretty funny and in two lines of dialogue very succinctly establishes this as pre-TOS.
