Humor is the faculty of perceiving what is amusing or comical. In this respect I perceive Jim Carrey's movies to be funny, but it is not the type of humor I like. I need some intellectual challenge to get trapped by the situation and make me smile. Although I'm normally not loud, there are some situations that make me be laugh out loud. Last one happened at an interpreters' conference when one of the speakers explained some misunderstandings which happened in a Court. This takes me to the cocaine article which I found funny not because of the facts themselves but because of how naive the drug dealer was..at his age!
Style is the mode of expressing thought in writing or speaking by selecting and arranging words, considered with respect to clearness, effectiveness, euphony, or the like, that is characteristic of a group, period, person, personality, etc. When I think of style I picture different things depending on the context. If it is something pertaining to Visual Arts, I would compare the object or image to something Italian made because I consider Italian design the finest and more creative at the moment. But speaking of writing, I try to use a diversity of resource, paying special attention to the organization of the text. I consider a stylish paper that which uses plenty of transitions and sentence structures that make easy and fun the reading.
