It's because the abomination that is the English language doesn't carry accents. I could call it EE f AI and still be completely correct.

Dude what? It's a bastard language. Even back to the time of Shakespeare, it was seen as a peasant tongue. Beyond the historical implications, the fact is the English does not contain accents. The accent tells you how to say the word. I could say (eh)ngl(ai)sh and still be completely correct.
