08. Avoiding colloquialisms
Colloquialisms are expressions that we use in casual or informal conversation. They are quite quirky, and vary according to your age, background, ethnic origin etc.
In formal and academic writing, colloquialisms such as:
'invite' instead of 'invitation'
'a lot of' instead of 'a great many'
'is a really hot topic' instead of 'is causing current concern'
