In this paper, it has been explained  on the basis of results obtained from an investigation held in Britain, how Pakistani English has diverged from Standard English, unnoticed by its speakers. The analysis and discussion  are based on a qualitative research method, but quantitative data has been provided for confirmation of tentative results obtained from in-depth analysis of a text. The tentative results of analysis lead to developing an argument about  how it is viewed by the Western reader, and how it should be regarded by its users as a  variety in its own right. It should not carry any stigma because it is used creatively in the social context of Pakistan. This context is distinctly ‘bilingual’ and therefore it should not be compared to the norms of monolingual use.
