The author used informal language in their essay when talking about interactions with their fraternity brothers. They were worried that their classmates might see it as unprofessional. They also mentioned how they use different language when talking to customers at the car wash. One specific language choice I made in my essay, because I knew my classmates would read it, is the use of informal language when describing my interactions with my Pledge Brothers in the fraternity setting. I speak to my Pledge Brothers in a way different way than I do my classmates, often including a lot more humor. One detail I choose to include in my language story, because I knew my classmates would read it, is the difference in how they would talk and communicate between my interactions with my Pledge Brothers and customers at the car wash. The risk I took in my essay was being candid about the informal and sometimes humorous language I use with my Pledge Brothers. I was concerned that my classmates might preserve this as unprofessional or inappropriate. With my Pledge Brothers, I use informal language to capture our close bond and shared humor. On the other hand, at the car wash, I switch to a more formal tone to meet the customer's needs.
