What are "Informal Words?" Informal Words are connected with normal communication with your colleagues, acquaintances, family members, etc. Informal words are more common in speech than in writing. Informal words are used in the 'unofficial' language. These words are not used in 'official' or formal writing. This book covers around 1400 Informal words (including the names of parts of speech they belong to) and their meanings NOTE: Many informal words are used in both American and British English in the same way. However, some informal words are particularly used in American English only. Similarly, some informal words are particularly used in British English only.
