Communicate With Authority

In WA training, Kyle mentions, many times, to write "conversationally". Upon review, I find web post that sounds "casual", instead.

Webster defines "conversationally" as, "an exchange similar to conversation." In other words, it's how you'd talk to a friend. You wouldn't be "careful". You'd speak, freely. Let it all hang out. Another word for this is colloquially- an oral exchange of sentiments, observations, opinions, or ideas.

"Casual" on the other hand means, 1. Feeling or showing little concern : nonchalant, 2. Lacking a high degree of interest or devotion, 3. Done without serious intent or commitment.

I believe, if you want to be "Authoritative" in your work, be conversational, just as Kyle said. To be authoritative is to be "clearly accurate or knowledgeable".

(Did you want an English lesson?)

Thanks for clarifying, Clare, Best Alan

Your welcome, Alan.

This is something I may have to redress. I will read all mine again and compare with what I want to portray.

Good idea, Derek. (You're a brave soul.)

Unfortunately Clare, we are not always good at critiquing our own work. That second or third look at a different time with a slightly different mindset can often show mistakes not picked up originally.

Derek

Yes, Derek. I have to do that regularly and I'm often aghast at hat I find. It makes me afraid to promote my articles.

Clare, this is indeed an English lesson. It makes total sense and I appreciate this. Thanks! Norbert

You're welcome, Norbert. And, I couldn't resist putting that at the end.

It's easy to sound stuffy when writing such things. I was hoping it would help lighten it up.

Plus, it made me laugh.

Very interesting comparison of casual and conversationally. Thank you for clarifying the two.

I definitely want to be authoritative and communicate clearly accurate and knowledgeable.

Yes, haroda. I highly recommend it.
