Language standardization, typography, and published vs unpublished works are all in separate domains.

Language standardization is not typography and we have figured out typography for the most part before language standardization. Look at the American English 'argument' vs the British English 'arguement' or 'color' vs 'colour'.

I also just so happen to have a collection of German children's books - the font family each uses is different, but it's still German.

I liken web sites to digital magazines and newspapers. These have an artistic quality to them in terms of content, structure, pictures, etc.

Would you not think it bland if every newspaper or magazine on the planet used the same structure, font-face, and voice?
