Is 何々つつ mostly a written expression? People look at me funny when
I talk like a book, so I'd like to clear that up.
Any chance of tagging the expressions on jGram as being either mainly
written or spoken? (contributor: Leslie)
tagging written/spoken should be there, you're right. Also, degree of
formailty (t-shirt or tie icon?).
It could be added to the notes section as a text note, though it would be
nice to have a popup menu i guess... means more work for people entering
stuff though. (contributor: dc)
I agree that, in conversational context, you don't use つつ but use
ながら.

Here, here. I am studying a grammar book right now, but I always have to
ask my teacher whether or not a certain piece of grammar is conversational
or not. Some kind of Icon or note would be MOST HELPFUL! (contributor:

Example #3267 belongs in another category. Also, there are two ways of
translating つつ on its own.
つつ(1) is close to ながら, but つつ(2)・つつも is similar to
〜ているのに. (contributor: rubyhatchet)
