Standard English
Standard English is the variety of English which is usually used in print and which is normally taught in schools and to non-native speakers leaning the language. It is also the variety which is normally spoken by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other (51) situations. The difference between standard and nonstandard, it should be noted, has (52) in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial (53) ; standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants.

This latter situation is not unique (65) English: it is also true in other countries where processes of standardization are underway. But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind of compromise between local norms and national, even supranational (跨国的) ones.
