Although I use Joo's Five clocks quite literally, I do not speak to my
cousins (also farm born but who stayed on the farm) in the same idiolect
that I would use in a speech to a general audience, or in talking with
fellow teachers at a teacher's conference, or in talking to colleagues
at a professional congress/conference, or in giving a lecture at such an
event.
It should be noted that Formal English is within the scope of most
non-English-speaking participants in international conferences; casual
English is not.  When--and only when--I am speaking to or writing an article
for 
highly literate colleagues do I proudly bear the banner of pedantry.  My
formal idiolect in such cases is quite strict.  
In case you wonder, my email to ATEG is more casual than it would be for
speaking to a general audience--much as if I were speaking with friends
in general conversation--a good group makes you feel that way.
Scott Catledge

I wonder whether...I've fallen into the old grammar pedant's trap of trying
to foist my idiolect on the universe.
