an interaction in which words are

Appropriateness
The language that you use should be appropriate
to the environment or occasion (ex. Whether
formal or informal)
Brevity
Speakers who often use simple yet precise and
powerful words are found to be more credible.
Try to achieve brevity by being more direct with your
words. Avoid fillers and insubstantial expressions which
do not add to the message, such as “uh” “you know”,
“I guess” and others.
Clarity
The meaning of words, feelings or ideas may be
interpreted differently by a listener; hence it is
essential for you to clearly state your message and
express your ideas and feelings.

Ethics
Words should be carefully chosen in consideration of
the gender, roles, ethnicity preferences, and status of
the person or people you are talking to.

Words that vividly or creatively describe things
or feelings usually add color and spice to
communication. Hence, you are encouraged
to find ways to charm your audience through
the use of vivid words.
