Using Standard English

Language is a systematic use of a body of words to communicate. Language is arbitrary, as it changes with whoever’s using it. Language changes in different ways; it is influenced by religion, location, age, education and more. There are many types of language, slang and jargon being a couple of them.  Jargon is a form of language based around a particular profession or skill. Slang is new words or new meanings to old words. Slang is used in extremely casual conversation, and should only be used in such a situation. It should only be used in such a lax conversation, because the meanings are so differential that not everyone understands the meaning intended. As such, there are many advantages to developing good language skills and learning the standard usage of whichever language you are using. It will allow you to understand more of the different dialects if you understand the standard for the language better than if you just learned a particular dialect. Learning the standard of a language shows the willingness to understand the language itself, which could help you in procuring a job, sale, or some other such object, that good communication can bring you.
