Standard English 

Standard English is one of three forms: Proper English, Standard English, and Common English. Until very recently, Standard English encompassed all of normally used English, however, as many forms of communicating on the internet have separated away from normal use, many of the less formal grammar styles and uses (i.e. caps lock, texting abbreviations, etc.) have been classified as Common English. However, any conversation you have with a pre-Millennial will use Standard English, even if it's "Hey, how's it going?" If you are talking to a superior, you will also be using Standard English.

female english teacher

The most liberal teacher ever. She is the queen of political correctness and will most likely kick you out of her class or give you an office referral if you use gay/homosexual as an insult, but to be honest you probably deserved it. She enjoys overanalyzing anything from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Romeo and Juliet. Some people probably strongly dislike her, but you'll learn to love her once you get past the fact that her quizzes over acts/chapters are insanely hard.
CAITLYN: Hey, how did you do on the Romeo and Juliet Acts 1 and 2 Quiz?
RACHEL: Well I have a female english teacher so of course, I got a 63%.
CAITLYN: Nobody in my entire Pre-AP class got above a 75%, deadass.
RACHEL: Damn, can't wait for my female english teacher to say it's our fault that the entire class failed, not hers.
