It is normal because any standard language has different registers, the dialect has limited registers and in general only for daily and familiar use.
This, by the way, is why we don't have multiple English Wikipedias - in the higher registers, all the dialects (which are frequently all but mutually incomprehensible in the lower registers) converge and educational English is quite consistent. The only major dialectic variant is American versus British spelling, and anyone who reads one can read and often write in the other.
