Standard British English comes across as very snobbish to me. Just because the language originated in England doesn't necessarily mean that their form of English is the correct one. And what is English anyway? It is a compilation of Anglo-Saxon, Latin, Norman French, with some Greek, and other languages mixed in.

It's not the incorrect one either.
