Formal: State your points confidently and offer your argument firm support. These are just some of the differences between formal and informal writing. The main thing to remember is that both are correct, it is just a matter of tone and setting. Formal English is used mainly in academic writing and business communications, whereas Informal English is casual and is appropriate when communicating with friends and other close ones. Choose the style of writing keeping in mind what you are writing and to whom.

Integrity is a personal quality of fairness that we all aspire to â unless you're a dishonest, immoral scoundrel, of course. Having integrity means doing the right thing in a reliable way. It's a personality trait that we admire, since it means a person has a moral compass that doesn't waver. It literally means having wholeness of character, just as an integer is a whole number with no fractions. Physical objects can display integrity, too â if you're going over a rickety old bridge that sways in the wind, you might question its structural integrity.
