But if I searched in the dialect of the content I would get the content. This is simply segregating the internet. Not "pushing down" rankings.
As an aside - this is a slippery slope conversation. Some people believe language requires rules. Other, more special people, think language is fluid and anarchist. The latter of those two do not make search engines.

Unfortunately, using machine learning to work out synonyms means you're going to miss out on minority usages, such as specialized academic jargon, or communities with millions of speakers which have slang and conversational grammar unlike "standard" English.
