there's gotta be & there must be
I am wondering if these two have the same meaning? i can say: there's gotta be a better way, or there must be a better way, do they have any difference? and for English writing, "there must be" is more formal?
thank you for your help.

Answer

They both mean the same in American English and both are commonly said.  But in writing, "got to" is casual and "must" a little more formal (for example, you won't see "got to" on a form or in an official letter).

Answer

Technically speaking it should be 'America's Got Talent' and 'Britain Has Talent'. :)

Answer

@Blair, aha, I got it, thanks a lot.

Answer

British English: There must be.
American: There's got to be.

If 'got to be' was ever used in British English, it would be informal. I can't speak for Americans on whether 'there must be' would be formal for them.
