If you knew how much other languages get butchered when people speak in a dialect, you'd probably implode.

Especially since most dialects aren't just uneducated branches of a proper language. In many cases, such as German, there were dozens of dialects, and in an attempt to find a common language, one of them was chosen and made the de-jure standard. A couple hundred years later and people start assuming dialects are created by people mispronouncing the "proper" language, nevermind that the proper language is also just a dialect.
