Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Although Nonstandard English has been regarded by many as incorrect, bad or not proper, and as a variety of language that needs to be replaced by Standard English, its usage may be acceptable in certain occasions. Nonstandard English is allowed depending on the context (which it's always informal) and the company, and even in literature: novelists such as Harper Lee and Mark Twain tended to use it in their characters' dialogues.

Furthermore, this English is also supported by many who see the different types of dialects of Nonstandard English as an important element that reveals a person's traits, the particularities of the place they come from, and a good source to identify social and regional differences as well.
