とっても versus とても


I've had a teacher flatly tell me that とっても is incorrect, but I do see it
written here and there and I'm pretty sure I hear it as well. Is it just so
informal relative to とても that I should never use it in a classroom or on
schoolwork?




とっても is a spoken variant of とても, just like すんごい is a spoken variant of すごい and
あんまり is a spoken variant of あまり. If you're writing a paper or speaking in a
formal setting, it's better to use とても.
