Formal writing vs Informal writing

The great debate begins as the use of formal and informal writing both have their place when it comes to deciding on how you want to write and convey a message or statement to someone else. To me personally, I favor using informal writing because it helps me get across my message to whom ever I am trying to communicate it to fast and simple. Verses formal writing which favors longer, more detailed sentences to thoroughly covey a thought. When I write informally I do not have to concern myself much with my vocabulary along with punctuation because the receiver of the message on the other side understand my basic thoughts through this simplistic style. Informal writing uses an emotional tone compared to formal writing which uses impersonal tone. Informal writing usually uses first or second person point of view and often discusses topics with humor as compared to formal writing which discusses topics with more gravity. Overall, both styles of writing are important and have their own value and usage in the proper setting. One cannot be equipped as a communication major or any college major for that matter, without having full grasps on when to use each type of language and writing how each affects the communication and message you are sending.
