Could you explain where the difference comes from ? Why is email "overly former" ?

  Sorry. I meant to say "formal." Email seems formal to people who have never communicated socially on the internet via anything other than facebook.

    But for those of us who've been online since before Netscape was founded, email seems natural and adaptable (it can be either formal or informal). Having said which, the usefulness of email has been quite eroded by the small number of sociopaths flooding it with useless ads for dubious products in what can only be a calculated effort to destroy it altogether.
