There are different registers, or varieties, of speech, that are used for various purposes. You may be able to use several speech registers in your daily life -- one at home, one with your friends, and a different one at school or work. The register that we learn in grammar books and use in school is also the register that is used on TV news shows, at most businesses, and in many formal settings, such as at some churches, public meetings, and offices where we get our driver's licenses and other government places. It is not important for people to change their home speech or their speech with their friends. It is important in societal interactions that we all understand each other. One way of being sure that we understand each other is that we are all able to use a similar register, similar speech, when we talk to each other. So it is actually most important that you know when and how to switch speech registers than that you speak a certain way all the time. Formal language is not likely to change quickly, so it is important that you be able to control it rather than finding out that you are unable to communicate well in a business or government situation when you want to.
