Grammarly Work Chat Etiquette
Grammarly Work Chat Etiquette pairs each habit to avoid in a work chat with the habit to put in its place, written by Grammarly, the writing assistance company, for people who message colleagues on Slack, Teams, Hangouts and similar platforms. The pairs cover opening a conversation, the length and number of messages, the register to use with a given reader, and writing with the reader in mind.
100% Free (unlimited): The whole article is open to anyone on Grammarly's blog, with no account, no form and no payment, and nothing on the page is held back. The Grammarly product the blog belongs to is separate and is not needed to read it.
How It Helps Your Business English
A series of Don't and Do pairs on messaging colleagues at work. Each Don't names a habit, such as opening with a bare hello, thinking out loud one line at a time, or sending one very long message, and the Do that follows gives the alternative with a sample opening line. A closing section argues for writing empathetically and asks how a message will land with its reader.
You read each Don't and Do as a pair, so you see the habit and its replacement together, and you can start with the pair that matches what you do now. The sample opening line shows you how to say what a message is about in one sentence. Use the section on your audience to judge how formal to be with a manager, a close colleague or someone outside your field, and to replace workplace jargon with plain words.
