Of course , people write like they talk, and some of the true question will be slightly hard for some to put in context.

I'd say it does because words may have different meanings in the dialects or grammatical structures may be slightly different.
Like the German dialects in Austria and Switzerland which have an accent of their own in addition to using different words and/ or grammatical structures Germans usually don't understand. But that even goes for many of the German accents like Saxon, Bavarian, Koelsch (the Cologne accent)or Platt (spoken around the North Sea coast).
In Sicily people from neighbouring towns/ villages have to speak Italian when they meet because they don't understand the others dialect/ accent.

I agree totally with Redd on this question. I have read some very nasty answers to questioners knowing its a dialect/accent difference.

I think it does. My partner is from Sheffield and I often have to get him to repeat himself and failing that translate what on earth he meant! I'm from the South and he does use very different words to me, even the meanings vary.

yes, different dialects will invert or reverse phrasing

I am sure it does-although I have no idea how we talk differently in different areas of the same country.

yes, much of it I am not familiar with like the word babymother is new to me. I just learned what it means here.
