I came across a question that asked me: Which of the follwing parts of the passage displays nonstandard usage? What does nonstandard usage denote?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nonstandard usage, I think they mean not conforming to standard English writing. A term used disapprovingly by some non-linguists to describe "bad" or "incorrect" English. The book Huckleberry Finn contains various examples of them.

Does that help any? I could explain a little more in depth if needed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that kind of those help. I am starting to get an idea of what nonstandard usage means. Thanks;)
