Informal != not real
I try to vary my vocabulary usage so I don't get into the habit of using one word too much. I have my catch phrases, but those are reserved for use at proper times only.
Overall, misuse and abuse has destroyed the word "literally," and I frequently hear it used in place of "practically," "nearly," or "essentially."
