Fashions in English or a Standard?
CHARLES-JAMES N. BAILEYMultilingua 6-4 (1987)
The size of the cultural misunderstanding
can be gauged by the fact that I have never met a native-speaker of English
teaching in Europe for a few months or more that did not admit that he/she
had been corrected by a European 'expert' at some time (never mind that
the corrector could not have gained admission to the universities that the
person being corrected graduated, even with honors, from); the list of
such people includes persons sent to Europe by the British Council to train
teachers, äs well äs testing directors from Britain.
