anonymous · Answer

i don't really think it's colloquial because it doesn't...it's... not in the style of...well...it doesn't SOUND colloquial. everyday talking isn't like this..at least it doesn't sound so to me, since everyday talking nowadays are usually with questions, don't you think? like, "did you know". i also feel like the last sentence is supposed to be, "but" or "and" should be in cluded, to make it sound more like everyday talking.

anonymous · Answer

i mean formal lol

anonymous · Answer

hbu?

anonymous · Answer

yes, that what i think too. 
it's spoken in an "officially" manner.
also, if you chose  colloquial you might as well have also chosen informal, they sound similar. and all of the above isn't really an option, since there are two opposites. can you identify them? [hint: one opposite consists of a pair]
