👉 In the context of education and linguistic studies, a "colloquialist" is someone who speaks or writes in a manner that is not formally educated, often with an emphasis on everyday language, slang, or informal expressions. They might use informal idioms, sayings, or phrases without necessarily being formalized or taken seriously by their peers. Colloquialists are typically considered to be more conversational and less formal than serious scholars or professionals in the field of education.
