Picture a default pattern that almost everything is made to fit: one common disk size, one common working day, one school version of a language. Non-standard marks whatever sits outside that pattern. Nothing in the word says outside is worse. What it does say is that things built for the pattern may not fit: parts, prices, forms, or, with language, the expectations of a formal setting.

可以想成有一個大家默認的規格,東西幾乎都照著它做:一種常見的磁碟尺寸、一種常見的上班時段、一套學校在教的語言版本。non-standard 標的就是落在那個規格外面的東西。這個字本身沒有說「外面比較差」。它真正說的是:照那個規格做出來的零件、價格、表格——換成語言的話,就是正式場合的期待——可能對不上。
