Earth might end up having a universal dialect over time if the internet keeps getting more prominent

However, space colonies would be pretty cut off from it, due to light speed latency. You couldn't have a real-time voice call with someone in the asteroid belt or mars. You could maaaaybe have one with someone on the moon, but even a second long delay is brutal

So it's still reasonable to assume that, yes, there will be space dialect even though the internet is a thing

Even without real-time calls, there would still be an asynchronous exchange of TV shows, movies, YouTube, etc. The populations wouldn't be linguistically isolated.
