How does informal Russian texting differ from formal writing

Informal Russian texting differs significantly from formal writing in several ways. Informal texting tends to use shortened word forms, slang, emoticons, and abbreviations, while formal Russian writing strictly follows grammatical rules, complete word forms, and a more complex sentence structure. Informal texts often omit punctuation or emotional qualifiers, use simplified syntax, and employ casual vocabulary or conversational fillers not appropriate in formal contexts. In contrast, formal writing emphasizes politeness, clarity, structured syntax, and a formal lexicon. The informal style is more flexible and context-dependent, seen in chats or social media, whereas formal writing is used in official documents and academic texts, reflecting respect and professionalism. ^{10, 13, 15}
