I get you, although I didn't imply Bangladeshis don't speak standard Bangla and West Bengalis do. It's just a variant of Bangla accent and certain use of terms. I meant the example you gave me of your friends, etc speaking is cholito bhasha and is common in BD. If I speak to say a Bangladeshi teacher/professional/stranger/elderly, I'd speak in standard/shuddho Bangla. Same goes for English.
