    Speaks better English English closer to an arbitrary standard than most native English speakers

    That's what usually happens when you focus on learning the "standard" in isolation instead of being exposed to stigmatized non-"standard" dialects as a child as you acquire your mother tongue.

    Happens with literally every language, not just English.
