Request for information about just- and pythagorian tuning

Hello!

Would somebody help me in explaining the differences between playing in
Justatonic mode and Pythagorean mode?
How can one learn to play in these modes without using electronic
equipment?
Is there any valid models used in learning how to use your ear to
recognise these different modes?

Thanks for your answer

Yours Sincerely
Torgersen, Norway

Gosh, I personally would be amazed if anybody looks down on Just
Intonation for that sort of reason. I've never heard anybody make such a
claim anyway. But perhaps that's not terribly important in the long run.
