Accent! What else do I have to say?

I have a problem with the people who put in an accent in their regular conversation. This is a major problem for me apart from my panicky thing on whether i will make good love at first attempt. I imagine that the people who put up accent are always making up stories, don’t ask me why and you will find out soon. I don't want to state the previous sentence in a format where i think myself 'superior', which is because i don't want you to get the wrong perception of me being a hedonist. Also, make sure you don't expect any solution at the end of this page since it’s just a perception. Don't worry; I won't even leak a word to the government to pass a bill sort of thing. 

I have asked some friends on what's the reason for adding the accent part and the first deliberate answer comes from everyone is that it makes it easier to communicate. Don't you think that's bull crap? I do. They can state that as flamboyance still it shows they are not credible. I always want to ridicule people who have to talk with an accent but i know it will make me more ugly since i am not the honest Buddha guy.

Talking with people of that tribe or community should help developing an accent. But in the cases I have seen is that, they get acquired immediately, for no reason and I don’t know why. The dumbest and ridiculousness is that they hardly speak to the one where they can learn or develop it from. When they are trying to develop an accent, typically they get to talk with the particular tribe people mostly at work with its already sugarcoated corporate globalize language. The common part what the native people will encourage others to get acquired is the lingo of the community. Say like a particular community will enjoy the new crowd saying 'god bless you' even though most of them realize that it has no meaning for existence however you adapt it and start saying it. This is acknowledgeable since the lingo type sounds more like a mannerism. 

I think those who speak with an accent think they sound very good among themselves and cool around their group or others. And no stupid fucking way they are like that.

History: It is very rare that I remember something, which I can immediately correlate with what I am thinking at present. But this is one of the good times i can recall an episode to justify where the accent related problem started. I went for a haircut with Arvind, one of the dude I was with in madras. As usual talk going on, he asked me whether I had noticed people are talking/trying with different accents around us. I said not really, i have not thought about it. He then pointed out a few names and asked me whether I found anything different in their accent. I immediately picked up a name and found out he had brought up the topic for that name. I was happy enough to find out that guy accent but that he was one among us, which made it kind of sad... anyway I was okay with it. That how I remember it started and I’m still not out of it.

Okay.. back to reality. I don't know why I'm so bothered about others accent. I think about it and it makes me feel kind of an irritation since they are not being themselves (don't worry i wont call them hypocrites).  I even thought what if i could be jealous by the way they are talking, so sophisticated?  No damn way I will envy the way they are. They suck big time. If you wanted to be sophisticated accent, then you should concentrate on you’re grammatical or whatever literature skill we are meant to acquire. If you are reading this and think you have a accent which you completely developed it as days went by then, its me and you, know want kind of accent you have. 

Overall, I get an understanding that the accent is mainly developed since they think its some kind of expectation from others when they mover around.  It continues around and spills into their blood.

I am not saying this is as a big type of issue like where people should start talking about this, once they finish talking about the war. I am writing this because its getting over my head, can't tolerate people who I used to know are adding this accent and I want see where I stand on this after finish writing this piece (i dare not call it a piece like a composition/orchestra). Its been a while since I have spoke about this to the few friends i have around and i am writing this since I want to pitch in just the opinion i have in myself rather than sugarcoating it, like the people who add in the wannabe accent they have.  

It's me who’s finding the difference on others and I hope seeing in some other way. I can't help noticing it. I am going to stay in this opinionated way until someone (everyone) shows what I am missing.
