Can somebody explain why accents within native speakers even exist?

There are these things called dictionaries and we all learn proper English for 12 years so it confounds me when somebody can spew out a bunch of gibberish and claim they just have an accent.

I grew up in the dirty south and I never had an accent or understood why they exist. Maybe it's because I'm autismo and had the accent-less television raise me.

It stems from regional dialect, case in point Pop vs Soda

I grew up in the dirty south too (Birmingham) but lived in Kentucky and Ohio as a young kid before that. My accent is therefore mostly neutral. So are my parents' accents. Not in the south anymore thank god.

Southern accents are literally by far the best accents in the US and every other American accent is unbearable.

If you're from the South and visit Britain hit me up and we'll drink beer and laugh at what nasally children the rest of your countrymen all sound like because they chose to talk like television characters instead of people.

I thought dialects were domestic variations of a language, while accents were foreigners trying to speak another language.

This thread is confusing.
>>
>>59580512
Accents refer to any particular group's way of speaking a language, a dialect is a variation of a language that uses different spellings and words of which an accent is only a feature, like Twitter nigger speak or the differences between British and American English. You can speak British English with an American accent or vice versa.

Nashville, Memphis, the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, and all the countryside in between. I'm a bit of a Dixieboo and I wanted to see Graceland/music city and soak in the culture.

You ever been to the Louisiana bayou? Those fucking niggers talk funny as hell. Different thing from the usual southern accent and even harder to decipher. That's a weird place in general. If you saw the first season of True Detective, it actually represented rural Louisiana pretty accurately.

Honestly, that's probably because you haven't lived near the accent. The closer you get to where southern accents actually exist, the more the local populace hates them, until you get to the epicenter where nobody cares.

Not quite sure what you mean about the accent but southern people are two faced as shit. The whole "southern hospitality" meme just means they're polite to your face. It's a very disingenuous culture.

Yeah, I've noticed that kind of thing, and that may be why I see the accent in such a bad light. I live in Ohio, and whenever southerners come up here, they all act like shallow fucks.
Now I just kind of don't trust southern accents. I do find Midwestern to be calming and trustworthy, probably from the same effect, because all the most chill and honest people I know tend to have them.

There is no way of speaking dutch without sounding like a literal retard. That said, belgians somehow manage to make it sound even worse.
