Question 3

Is "work in" formal or informal?

Accepted Answer

"work in" is register-neutral — appropriate in both casual and formal contexts. Has two distinct uses: (1) including something in a schedule or piece of work, and (2) physically mixing or incorporating something into a substance (e.g. in cooking or craft). Both senses are common. In the scheduling sense, it implies that fitting something in requires a degree of effort or reorganisation.
