word choice - Written English: not regional?


I'll be as specific as possible: Is it the case that written English tends to exclude region-specific words and expressions?


The context is the expression on the go, whose regionalism is either changing or debatable. But it can be extended to cover all region-specific words and phrases.



Also, what type of English is used in writing that excludes or tends to exclude region-specific words and phrases? Is there an internationally recognized region-free form of English?
