We had to write about what type of English we speak in English class. I speak standard English, proper English for academic and professional circumstances, and improper for a daily basis with friends. My language when writing is much more structured and in daily life it is very informal. I would never say "dude" in a paper, or during an interview. We say things like, that's straight and fresh which have a different meaning to me and my friends than to other people who might speak English also.javascript:void(0)
