OpenStudy (jacob902):

Informal Writing Style. Colloquial – Informal writing is similar to a spoken conversation. Informal writing may include slang, figures of speech, broken syntax, asides and so on. Informal writing takes a personal tone as if you were speaking directly to your audience (the reader).

The Rules of Formal Writing Most sentences should be complex and add specific meaning to the writing. You should use a sophisticated vocabulary with terms that are accepted in the topic's field. Keep a serious tone with literal meanings. Formal writing should not be filled with clichés and metaphors, like phrases such as 'hard as nails.' The piece should have a specifically-stated purpose, called the thesis in academic writing. Avoid contractions. The piece will usually be written in the third-person perspective, which means you will not use 'I' or 'you'. Use standard spelling (no texting-style words like 'LOL'). Use standard punctuation. References must be properly cited for academic or published writing. You should organize the writing into paragraphs that fit together. http://study.com/academy/lesson/formal-writing-definition-rules-examples.html
