Yeah, that's why you can't tell the difference between there, their, and
they're in English and why she rose from the dead with a rose between
her teeth.

What is that to do with accents? Accents allow you to make the distinction in spelling that you would otherwise only be able to hear. Your example is the opposite of this.

Meanwhile it kept the conjugation I am, you are, he is, they are
instead of the sensible Norwegian jeg er, du er, han er, de er.

I don't speak Norwegian so I don't know what your point is there.
