Language has a grammar for communication. In other words, there is a form, and communication is only possible when society agrees on that form. Therefore, in communication, form is often more important than content. Different fields in society use different grammars and preferred language styles. For example, there are separate grammars and vocabularies used in law, and the same goes for marketing. This is especially common in advertising and public relations, where the form is usually more important than the content.
