German spelling with commands When you write commands in German, is it informal to write them without the "e" for the du form. For example "komm" instead of "komme." Is it normal to write them how it is said or is it seen as improper?

It's informal

'Komm her' oder 'Geh weg' are much more forceful expressions than 'komme her' oder 'gehe weg'. You are talking about commands. Commands need a strong, forceful approach. Formal: 'Kommen Sie her' oder 'Gehen Sie weg'.
