Answer:

Tan enjoys thinking about language and using different forms of English.

Explanation:

In the passage above, the writer, Tan, confesses she is fascinated by the English language and she spends a great deal of time pondering the qualities and the potential that the language possesses; but not only that, she also makes an argument about the fact that the English language is not a monolith, but in fact, it is diverse and has many registers, and they can all be used, so much so that, in her trade, she makes use of them all.
