Surely there's no such language as standard German, and surely if there

I do think there is such a thing. You can find it in the better of German
newsapers. It is being taught in Goethe institues abroad and in any Deutsch
als Fremdsprache courses. On the other hand, I doubt you will find it in
Duden dictionaries, because Duden is merely descriptive and encompasses
anything that is around, including wrong grammar such as wegen + dative
case.
