What's the difference between "not fml" and "infml" in dictionary? I'm reading 《Longman Lexicon of Contemporary English》 and it sometimes uses "not fml" or "infml" which confuses me. for example: 1.get up: not fml (1)to (cause to) rise from bed in the morning (2)..... 2.pick oneself up: infml to get up. esp after falling 3.strike: (1)not fml to seem: 4.look as if: also look like, usu infml to seem to be (going to) What's the difference between them? Thank you!

If a word or expression is 'not formal', it means that you can use it in both informal and neutral contexts. The only situation you wouldn't use it in is a formal one. If a word or expression is 'informal', you would only use it in informal contexts.
