What is the difference between English and smart English?
If you mean the difference between street English, and Proper English, then the differences are vast.I was taught what Americans call "Oxford English". I learned the language of my new home from a teacher who was, indeed from England. I developed the speech patterns, and even the accent from her. I consider the English I was taught to be proper, or "smart" English. I don't use colloquialisms (slang) when I speak in a formal situation, and I don't say things like "ain't, or y'all" (Even though I am currently living in Texas). Study your own grammar, and learn proper speech and see where the difference is for you.
