As much as communication and its style may seem similar to the naïve eye, it has distinctive qualities that make each form of communication unique from each other and this is why different styles of communication are used for different occasions. Business style writing requires a professional approach to writing and communication, and social media writing borders on the personal approach or style to communicate. Professional writing not only has a formal tone and intention but also have specific content that is necessary to be communicated in the right way and without causing any damage. Social media writing, on the other hand, does not need to be formal or doesn’t have the burden of being responsible.
