It includes word choice, word order, punctuation, and spelling. <br /> <br /> <br />Standard English is especially helpful when writing because it maintains a fairly uniform standard of communication which can be understood by all speakers and users of English regardless of differences in dialect, pronunciation, and usage. This is why it is sometimes called Standard Written English. <br /> <br /> <br />There are a few minor differences between standard usage in England and the United States, but these differences do not significantly affect communication in the English language. <br /> <br />http://www.englishforums.com/English/StandardEnglish/njxn/post.htmMon, 10 Jan 2005 09:21:10 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:66721king of Loneliness3http://www.englishforums.com/English/StandardEnglish/njxn/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-66721.xmlHi there.. <br />How are you all?? <br />Well I am new here but I have serious questions. <br />My question is: <br />Is there a standard English?? <br /> <br />Some teachers here in my country say that there is no standard English... <br />so what are your answers friends??? <br /> <br />Thank you
