Using standard and non-standard English
What is Standard English and Non-Standard English?
Standard English is the form of English that is taught around the world and understood by all speakers of the language.
It uses correct grammatical rules and can be thought of as the formal, official, or polite way of speaking or writing.
Non-standard English is the informal version of the language, which can change depending on where it is being spoken.
It contains lots of slang (very informal versions of standard words), which can be particular to a certain area or group of people, so may not be used or understood by everyone.
