Document Summary

Standard written english- a way to standardize certain conventions and certain rules so that we can write the language and achieve, as close as we can, to it being received accurately. When we write we have less tools available to communicate, when speaking we have tone of voice, postures, gestures, thus we must be careful so that it is not interpreted differently. Allows us to have a shared english that is true, despite our dialect/ geographical location. Standard is not better english but shared english. Standard english is artificial, there is nothing more correct about standard english in objective terms. No, however we may use them when conventionally appropriate( bullet points powerpoint presentations) Three types of rules for grammar: (cid:862)real(cid:863) rules makes something english and not spanish.
