The Perils of Overcasual Language

Overcasual is a term used to describe a type of language or tone that is too casual or informal for a particular context. It can be seen as inappropriate or unprofessional, and can undermine the credibility or authority of the person using it.

For example, using slang or colloquialisms in a formal presentation or business setting would be considered overcasual. Similarly, using overly familiar language or tone with someone you don't know well, such as a superior or a client, can also be seen as overcasual.

Overcasual can be a challenge for writers and speakers, as they need to balance the desire to connect with their audience and convey their message in a relatable way, while also maintaining an appropriate level of formality and professionalism.
