The Queen's English

The Queen’s English refers to the standard form of British English associated with proper pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary traditionally used by educated speakers, especially in formal contexts. It emphasizes clear enunciation and adherence to established language norms, often linked to the speech patterns of the UK’s upper classes and historical standards. While it’s sometimes seen as a benchmark for "correct" English in Britain, it is not a rigid or official dialect but rather a style of speech that conveys formality and education. Today, it’s often used to describe polished, standard British English, especially in formal or traditional settings.
