 I get a little tired of the
pendantry on this list, so I looked up "standard" in the American Heritage
Dictionary, just to satisfy the pendantic:
There are maybe two or
three definitions that could be applied in this discussion:
n.
5.a. A degree or level or requirement, excellence, or
attainment.
adj. 2.
Widely recognized as a model of authority or excellence: a standard
reference work.
adj.
5. Commonly used or supplied: standard car
equipment
There is one other that
might also apply, especially to some recommendations or
products:
adj.
3. Acceptable, but of less than top quality: a standard
grade of beef.

scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor
less." -- Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking
Glass
