Hybrids, hybrids, hybrids!

Plenty of #TTC hybrid electric buses, old and new alike, plow the streets up in the Wilson region of North York! A brief August weekend outing offered quite a lot to experience.

Wait... that's not a cutaway bus!

Earlier this year, #BWGTransit service was replaced by #ArgoCorporation. Argo offers "smart routing" and uses electric buses! Learn more about Argo at www.rideargo.com!

There isn't a right or wrong way to communicate with others. As long as people understand you, it's all good!

Ending off, I just want to say that this is my own stance on using grammar online! I just don't know if anyone else shares my point of view, but I thought it'd be cool to talk about here.

Greeism @greeism.com · 29d

If you were to use my hybrid writing style on another platform (i.e. LinkedIn), people can undermine your professionalism which is why I mention peer pressure coming into play with how you should write.

Greeism @greeism.com · 29d

I prefer having a balance of both, having a formal approach to your writing gives off a sense of authority and genuinity!

on the contrary writing a message like this can convey a more relaxed and soothing tone to those unfamiliar with your usual speaking style :-) but ofc this depends on platform!

Greeism @greeism.com · 29d

as you can see, the more "professional" aspect is pretty much Gone with the way I talk to other folks on Discord for the most part

Again, the way one writes can stem from peer pressure and previously accepted norms from past environments! It's a fairly interesting thing to think about out loud.

Greeism @greeism.com · 29d

Meanwhile, social media platforms such as Discord is where the peer standard is lower. There is not much of a mandate to speak with such level of clarity.

in fact, ideally I prefer speaking online without the need of FULL punctuation or capitalization (this is how I usually speak)

Greeism @greeism.com · 29d

While I'm fairly understanding about the former, I really don't like the idea of carrying over the high-brow grammar over into Messenger (unless you're buying something off the Marketplace, haha).

Greeism @greeism.com · 29d

I think the entire concept of writing etiquette has a huge dependency on the situation and environment. I've always felt pressured to maintain a significant level of grammar on other social media platforms, namely Facebook and LinkedIn to name two.

Greeism @greeism.com · 29d

Every once in a while, the thought of writing etiquette comes to mind. It's honestly such an ambigious topic to discuss but I've always had a desire to express my thoughts on this. Just wanting to see if other people can relate!

Pretty excited to finally branch out to more cities in the province one day by car! You can only go so far with public transit before either fare prices start slipping out of budget, or public transit can't take you there... 🙈
