Morphological awareness is essential for vocabulary acquisition. Analyze the statements below regarding the word formation processes known as "Back-formation" and "Blending":

I.Back-formation is the process of reducing a word to a shorter version which belongs to a different word class, often by removing a supposed affix, such as forming the verb "to edit" from the noun "editor".

III.Both processes are strictly restricted to informal slang and are not recognized in standard English dictionaries or academic writing, being considered grammatical errors.
