Neutral English vs Local English

[5jj]

I agree with you on that. Actually, I don't have any idea of what neutral English is. I know Native and Local but not Neutral. So now I have a big problem on that because I don't understand. Many people prefer RP for communicating in public or they can use local English with each other especially when they come from the same area.
I don't agree that most people, even British people, prefer RP for communicating in public. Speakers of regional dialects communicating with people who speak a different dialect may choose not to use some of the words and phrases that they know to be exclusively local, but they don't generally speak RP.
Those foreign learners who have studied in establishments that use British course books and employ British teachers tend to acquire a Southern British English way of speaking, because that's the English they are mostly exposed to. Europeans tend to prefer to learn BrE, but people in some other parts of the world prefer AmE.
I wish [STRIKE]who[/STRIKE] someone could tell me what neutral English is.
The reason that no-one is telling you is that it is not a recognised term.[/QUOTE]

Further to that last point, consider these:

There is someone who can....
I'm looking for somone/anyone who can... (the second option is more desperate!)
I wish there was someone who could...
I wish someone could...

But in direct speech 'Who can...?'
