To emoji or not to emoji... are we ruining how we communicate?

As of right now, Facebook Messenger is taking a stand on how we're communicating with one another.

Memes, GIFS, and emojis are really fun, but are they're getting in the way of real, honest communication?

It's the kind of behaviour that enables people to ghost or be ghosted, which needs to stop.

The messaging service has partnered with Debrett's, a world-renowned authority on etiquette training that boasts a heritage of 250 years.

“Communication in the digital age is easier and quicker than ever, but has etiquette evolved at the same pace? How do you exit a group chat and not cause offense? Is it acceptable to share humorous content with your colleagues? How long should you wait before chasing someone for a response?” Katherine Lewis, Debrett’s Etiquette Expert says.

“We are delighted to work with Messenger from Facebook on a definitive guide to communication in the era of digital messaging, which was informed by extensive research as well as our 250 years of expertise in courteous and considerate communication.”
