Is Social Media Slang an Evolution in Language?

– Author: Cole Armstrong, WPS Office Software – G2G. BRB. IDK. TTYL. Language purists and others who prefer a more formal approach to communication style—even online—may bristle at these types of terms. But while Internet slang and other forms of word shortening and abbreviation can make you look unprofessional if you use them at work, they may serve an important purpose when used at appropriate times in general communication. While you may not go so far as to believe that commonly used IM and social media slang terms like the ones used above represent an evolution in language, it’s hard to argue the fact that such shortened expressions can improve our communication’s efficiency.

Communication Etiquette in Today's World

— Author: William Wong, WPS Office Software — With so many new media competing to be our choice to communicate with each other, it can be hard to keep track of the proper way to use each vehicle. Emailing etiquette, for example, has its own business etiquette compared to texting or instant messaging etiquette. To help you keep everything straight, review these tips on the best way to communicate using each option: Be conscious of tone. Many an emailer has regretted sending a business message that conveyed too much emotion. It can be easy to misinterpret tone in written communications, particularly emails, as it’s challenging to accurately convey a neutral tone. Avoid use of all capital letters since the recipient can interpret that as yelling, and go easy on the exclamation points. Don’t use multiple punctuation marks (such as ??) since those too can suggest a demanding tone. Read the full blog at http://blog.wps.com/2016/10/11/communication-etiquette-in-todays-world?utm_so

How Technology Has Changed the Way We Communicate

— Author: William Wong, WPS Office Software — Once upon a time, people had limited options for exchanging information with one another.

With this in mind, let’s take a look at what constitutes communication in the modern age, and explore the ways that technology continues to alter how we talk and listen to each other.
