Page "International English" Paragraph 26

" What could be better than a type of English that saves you from having to re-edit publications for individual regional markets!

Teachers and learners of English as a second language also find it an attractive idea — both often concerned that their English should be neutral, without American or British or Canadian or Australian coloring.

Any regional variety of English has a set of political, social and cultural connotations attached to it, even the so-called ' standard ' forms.

" — Peters ( 2004, International English )
