English grammar Dialects: the many different kinds of English
 Some people use grammar that is different from other people when speaking. For example, people who use what is called General American English or BBC English might say, 'I didn't do anything', while someone who speaks what is called African American Vernacular English might say, 'I didn't do nothing'. These differences are called dialects. The dialect a person uses is usually decided by where they live. Even though the dialects of English use different words or word order, they still have grammar rules. However, when writing in American English, grammar uses the rules of General American English.
