What are the 3 types of language to avoid?
Slang and idiomatic expressions: Avoid using slang or idiomatic expressions in general academic writing.

What type of language should be avoided in writing?
Emotive language appeals to a reader's emotions or values and can be persuasive in some situations. However, it impedes a reader's efforts to consider arguments or evidence on their own merits and is therefore unsuitable for academic writing.
What type of language should you generally avoid in objective writing?
Avoid colloquialism and slang expressions.
Both colloquialism and slang expressions convey an informal tone and should be avoided in formal writing.
