An English Conversation In Standard English Cause I Care About You ✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/english-conversation-standard-english/
Holding an English conversation in standard English says a lot about you, and not using standard  English says even more about you, especially in the world of business  and in the workplace. It’s interesting how much things have changed with  the use of standard English in the UK.
Institutions, like the BBC,  have embraced non standard English to be more inclusive of the many  regional British people who don’t use standard English in the UK. The  problem is there is still stigma and bias associated with people who  speak using non standard English.
The good news for new English language learners is that I will certainly teach you standard English.  You will avoid knowing about and using non standard English if you  listen to Adept English. However, if you are learning by listening to  films or English speaking TV, then you might pick up some bad English  language habits without knowing it.
Knowing about non standard  English and knowing when to use it or not use it is an advanced level of  English language fluency. It can be fun and help you fit in if you can  spot when people are using non standard English. You might even join in  so you can fit in with others. The key here is you’re in control and you  know when using standard English in a conversation is the right way to  go.
Once, BBC television had echoed BBC radio in being a  haven for standard English pronunciation. Then regional accents came in:  a democratic plus. Then slipshod usage came in: an egalitarian minus.  By now slovenly grammar is even more rife on the BBC channels than on  ITV. In this regard a decline can be clearly charted... If the BBC, once  the guardian of the English language, has now become its most  implacable enemy, let us at least be grateful when the massacre is  carried out with style.
