Those tend to be very local dialects spoken by pirates, angry farmers and two chickens with a mild understanding of human language Actually no, official grammatics are the least used ones worldwide just by checking English speaking countries. That is only due to the fact that there are so many localizations of English. But non of them that I know of drop the "a" except for maybe a very primitive vernacular dialect. Maybe. Perhaps you think of another language? I know such a concept exists among Turkish Germans. |

Well you should know that London alone hosts 14 dialects, so knowing the wide English speaking country list, I bet there are only few thousands of them |

Germany alone hosts hundreds of dialects that are so different they might as well be seperate languages. |

Standard American English still usually expect an A in that sentence (although it's possible to get away with a minor omission, not in the classroom, of course).

Germany alone hosts hundreds of dialects that are so different they might as well be seperate languages. I would note that "standard" English, is usually considered the only correct one. Of course, there is different standard based on country. Usually very similar though. For example, in USA some people campaign for African American english to be considered its own thing, and not subject to criticism because it is so different from normal english.Its not considered instantly acceptable. Of course, I know non-english countries with wide variations often enforce a single central dialect. |

In germany we have "New high German standard" which is our central dialect but I started school learning Hessicher so I couldn't ever learn standard. Its the same problem alot of people have. It makes it difficult to find work too. |

Do I need to tell you again there are Oxford standard, Cambridge standard, Webster standard, and literar standard just in England, and I think that you may have referenced to one of these, but still they all are considered official English |
