Well, you see they are all holding on to the word formal.

It's a tenuous word to hold on to as it's actually only "congress speak" and they are trying to use it as if it is normal English. This is how the Republicans have been playing all along and it's time we call them on it.

Please read "formal" as meaning "any" in normal English.
