Could you help me understand this sentence?
This is an excerpt from a book:
"In grammar and vocabulary, standard English presents somewhat less of a monolithic character, but even so the world-wide agreement is extraordinary and -- as have been suggested earlier -- seems actually to be increasing under the impact of closer world communication and the spread of identical material and nonmaterial culture."
I can't understand that sentence well.
Does that say "world-wide agreement present extraordinarily presents less of a monolithic character"?
And what seems to be increasing?
Could you tell me, please?
