Decoding ‘Phraseology’ - The New Revolutionary Social Language

Beep! Beep!

Message on your phone –

Option 1:
"Good afternoon Rahul, I’m on my way. I would like to request you to share your location with me."

Option 2:
"Share ur location."

Grammar Nazis may call the latter phrase 'literary atrocity', but isn’t it a better expression?
Short and sufficient!
Takes less time to write AND read.

Wondering why we are discussing phone messages?
Or rather, the better way to message?
And is it even related to this blog?

If yes, how?

Oh, that brings us here – what exactly is the purpose of this piece?

Well, here goes...

Today, not many tools are as powerful as social media. And we, at OMLogic, totally understand that -

• hooking readers the right way is crucial,
• you have very few characters to make a compelling case, and thus,
• it’s time we introduced & defined a more effective language of social.

Powerful & persuasive!
