Eh, obviously you're not going to learn anything new today. You could do English pupils everywhere a huge favour though, go to the various examination boards such as OCR, Edexcel and AQA, and yell at them red faced that they're wrong to detract marks from exam papers that declare they've found grammar mistakes rather than instances of non-standardisation. I think there's an entire generation here that will find themselves at an enormous detriment if you don't do something.

I think school children have a bigger problem with writing than just grammar.
On the other hand, have you considered that perhaps “non-standard” is in fact synonymous with “wrong and stupid”? Because the phrase reminds me of the popular phrase among bad artists – “it’s my style!”
