The point of language is to have shared communication. That people adopt language standards isn't a moral failing, and accent is a legitimate part of it as it's more organic/instinctual to human interaction than grammar/diction classes.
- rglover 2y agoTrue, but this particular style was born out of a region where people are largely known to be smug and arrogant about their intelligence/"betterness" than other people. Not sure I'd call it a moral failing as much as a marker of who to avoid (much like a dangerous plant having bright colors or scents).
