I’ve seen this incredibly often on StackOverflow, but also on a few other internet sites. “Standart” is an extremely common misspelling of “standard”.
Is there a reason in how English is taught to non-native speakers, or another language which spells standard in this way, which results in the confusion?
Usually when I see this the rest of the conversation is otherwise flawless, which gives this an air of a careless mistake — e.g. confusing the English word with a cognate in another language. However, I don’t know enough about other languages to tell if that’s what’s going on, or if it’s something else.
Answer
This is a common misspelling in German. The word also is “Standard” there, but as @Tim points out, “Standard” and “Standart” sound the same, and it is easy to mistakenly assume it’s related to German “Art” (Way, manner, fashion).
I think this is a case where an error in the native language is repeated when those making it write in English.
