Throughout the history of the English language there has been division between what is deemed to be proper and what is deemed to be common. The worlds of literature and music have often been reserved for the dialect deemed proper, however, there are exceptions; Robert Burns, Charles Dickens, Shakespeare, and the Wurzels, to name but a few.
But it is not always that they remain outsiders. Dickens and Shakespeare often created words that did not exist in what was considered proper, and by their common tongue changed language forever.
''Writing in the common tongue as opposed to the accepted proper language restricts your audience to those who speak the same way as you and considerably reduces the tone of your work''
