Should jargans be used in formal letter or not

[Angel Of Love]

I know this is a bit not too thing to debate on but i was wondering that what if that now all big big people also uses jargons(okay=k, going to=gonna) then why not use then in formal letter too why only in informal when everyone understands it...

Jargon means writing in a formal way I think.

Of course formality is important in corporate and business documents. Having a formal style and theme in all your documents will ensure your customers, suppliers and other stakeholders get a good image of the business concerned. If you write 'I'm gonna go to your office' it represents a casual image of your business.

I don't think we should make spelling mistakes in our writing, whether it be here or a formal business letter.

Excuse me, we do not call these jargons.

It's just a more contracted form of English than the one we know already.

Can not > can't

Do not > don't

This can't, don't, 't form itself is not accepted in formal language.

Zis language hs neva bin a part of English. It's just a 'convenient' (really  ?) way of typing new generations have unfortunately adopted.
Don't even think of writing that in a formal piece.

Everybody does not use the same contracted form, and it has been remarked to vary from country to country, while English is supposed to be a universal language.

If I am so irritated and annoyed when people write (leave whatever) however they wish to, imagine how the examiner would be.

We once had a case in Mauritius, where a student was so addicted to 'texting' that he wrote the whole essay in text form. It was a news... not very well agreed to... by the examiners. Actually, it was catastrophic.

Yes, We can save a very small amount of papers. But it'll not be worth the sacrifice!

@Alpha i agree these aren't jargons but his is what i have heard...and if not jargons are they known as slang language i mean i am not sure 'cause i have always heard that these are known as jargons...

It's a contracted English form, as I explained earlier. Some people call it sms language.

And no, slang is different. It's an informal language, yeah, but it's written full. It's a kind peer language, used by particular groups.

Like the word "nerd", it's a slang, used mostly by peers, by you people here.  And lol, I bet you know the meaning better than me. 

Some people write "nrd" as the contracted form of "nerd". That's a different style.

"Wanna" is a contraction of "want to" / "want a".
