It shows intelligence. Looking intelligent is very important for status. I'm not saying have an obvious tryhard accent, but don't use slang, speak slowly, evenly and calmly and pronounce world properly and with correct grammer and people will respect you.

lol this is wot i mean lol. y say feed when u can say eat. this is wot i mean bout ppl spking posh for no reson lol.

Because if I wrote "Don't eat the Trolls" that would have a different meaning. That's why they're different words. Seems like a pretty good reason.
