In a recent decision, the @SCC_eng gave plain language a big boost:
“[T]he exercise of public power must be justified, intelligible and transparent, not in the abstract, but to those individuals subject to it.” https://t.co/0duB5YsHwI

Ce mois-ci, j'ai eu la chance de rédiger un billet sur un sujet qui me passionne : le rôle des emojis dans nos communications professionnelles! 😍
À lire sur le blogue d'En Clair 😁

[En Clair @EnClairSC]

Tous au télétravail, nous sommes plus que jamais à communiquer par courriel 📨 et messagerie instantanée 💬.
Utiliser les emojis peut vous aider à communiquer clairement vos intentions! https://t.co/X86zglo23j

@superlinguo Very good point! I was wondering if I was a weirdo for waiving my hand for more than a few seconds at the end of each call. Very hard habit to break, now I know that I don't have too😀

Losing interest bc of #jargon: in a new study, people exposed to jargon when reading about scientific subjects later said they were less interested in science than others who read about the same topics, but without the use of jargon. https://t.co/L7k5JeLsmn

If notice + consent is a failed system to protect people’s privacy, what are new designs and policy changes that could be better? @StanfordCIS’s Jen King lays out the current research and directions for consumer #privacy at @StanfordLaw

@p_szymankiewicz Whereby works great! But there is a limit of participants when you use the free version (I think 4)

Contract drafting inspo with @BoJackHorseman! I guess this counts as #plainlanguage?

A great read to start the day! Interesting insights into best practices for user understanding of terms and conditions. Definitely contains some ideas to mull over.

Hey #plainlanguage & #healthliteracy advocates. Check out this awesome and humorous video that the State of Minnesota has created to promote its plain language act. Well done. @MNHealthLit

In favor of using emojis in the workplace : Researchers at U of Hong Kong reviewed 50 studies on the use and impacts of emojis in communication and found that proper use of emojis helps people form relationships and understand one another. https://t.co/H7jqJtM1GY via @WSJ

[Claire Farnoux @ClaireFarnoux]

The number of reported cases having used emojis as evidence in the United States increased from 33 in 2017 to 53 in 2018, and already in 2019, it is at nearly 50 - but there is not a single court guideline regarding how to deal with this type of evidence

Interesting article about tone matching from @grammarly and good point about the diffrence between tone matching and tone mirroring! https://t.co/iv8PfrJHK8 via @grammarly

#WordNerds, you need this list of ambiguous words! Why? Because it shows that the word "break" has 75 meanings and "cut" has 70 meanings, and those facts are extremely cool. And random. I get that :) https://t.co/Qc3nDPTjbG #LookItUp #English #DIctionary #Ambiguity #Thesaurus
