We live in the most diverse country. People talk with accents, with different tones, use different dictions etc. But, there comes a point where the way a person talks reflects on their personality. If someone uses profanity may times, for no absolute reason, that makes the surrounding people the he/she is an uncontrollable rude person. You would second guess them and not trust them as much. I am not saying that people who cuss are people who you should be afraid of, but if they randomly burst out cuss words, be careful. Nevertheless, people who talk with a higher vocabulary, using pleasant words and talking in a tone that sounds right are viewed upon as "smarter" or "more polite". For example, doctors, lawyers etc. Everyone believes what they say, just because they use big fancy words. I believe that accents make people unique. It shows other people a slight view of their culture. If it is a horrible accent and it is to an extreme, where people do not understand what you are saying, you can work on it, but do not loose it, because it makes you who you are. Finally, the different dialects give all the different cultures to express their own feelings in their own words. Yes, sometimes it comes in handy to know a second language, but it is even better when people come and ask you to teach them some everyday words.
I always try to talk in a way that will make me look smarter. I think that if you talk like you know what your talking about, everyone else will believe you. I try not to use the word "like" alot, because that just makes me look blond. I truly do believe that accents do make us unique. It is awesome to hear all the different accents.
