Generation

**Register** refers to the level of formality or style of language you use in different situations—like how you'd speak differently in a job interview (formal register) versus texting friends (informal register). **Dialect** is a variety of a language associated with a particular region or social group, involving distinct vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation—for example, Southern American English versus British English. While you can switch registers depending on context, your dialect is typically tied to your background and community. Both are completely valid forms of language, though people sometimes unfairly judge certain dialects or registers as "better" than others.
