I have been told that I am quite pedantic and I speak formally a lot of the time. I think there are 4 main reasons for this:
- Detail focused processing style- it is really important for me to be precise with what I say to avoid misunderstandings
- Large vocabulary
- Provides structure for interaction
- Love of language
What do you think? Do you speak formally?
I am just interested in other people’s opinions and whether formality is important to you.
