The same — in different words: „достал“ (coll.), „приобрёл“ (literary), „получил в пользование“ (business). Colloquial — shortcuts, slang, omissions („ща“, „щас“ — chat only). Literary — precise terms, full forms. Business (official style) — clichés: „в связи с“, „соответственно“, „просим сообщить“. Right style = respect for the reader.

●„wanna buy“ vs „intend to acquire“ — different contexts
●Bureaucratese carefully: „в случае чего“ — only in papers
●In letters small „вы“ — except official mail

💬 „Извините за беспокойство“ is official, but people take offense: better „извините за неудобства“ or „извините, что потревожил“. Style decides the reaction.
