When writing anything, the style of your writing is determined by tone and rhythm. There are many styles of writing which vary depending on your topic of discussion. For example: high, middle, low, inclusive and culturally sensitive, vigorous, clear, and economical style.
According to, "How To Write Anything" high style is used for formal, scientific, and scholarly writing, such as:serious or professional subjects while using an impersonal point of view. Middle style is for personal, argumentative,and some academic writings. Middle style is typically used by the media (magazines and newspapers) and is directed at a general audience. Low style is similar to middle style but varies because it is more informal and a playful writing but yet and still personal. Low style refers to everyday life or random subjects: mostly humorous. Inclusive and culturally sensitive style is used for honesty but to be more sensitive and aware of words you use because of the affect it may have on your audience. We all know that not everyone in your audience will be pleased but it is nice to be conscious of the things that may offend your audience. When using vigorous, clear and economical styles they are looking more for the big picture. These styles of writing are clear and straight to the point.
Everyone has there own way of writing and what intrigues them. What's your flavor?
'Gotta catch 'em all' is my approach to style.
