Q1: Find the informal features in the following text: Informal text:
While reading today's news, I found an interesting text about the investigation on the ISAF and U. S guy, General John Allen. The general is now in the FBI's spotlight after discovering lots of mails between him and Jill Kelley. And if you didn't know, Jill Kelley was the woman leaked the threatening emails from Paola Broadwell- but let's not talk about that. It isn't totally clear how Allen and Kelley communicated, but FBI are investigating 30 o00 emails and documents, 30 000! I'm not sure If this will play an important role in the CIA-case, but I do believe this will lead to some more interesting news. What do you think?
