I think our mess of the English language here in the U.S. is a by product of a mixture of so many cultures living here.
I personally, am not bothered at all, by the way ppl speak, as long as
1- they are not swearing
2 - they are not being rude towards me
I wouldn't, however, want to have to learn how to speak it, at my age. Glad i was born here to start with.
