interpersonal communication

Exchange of information between two or more persons. During interpersonal communication there is the act of sending a message as well as receiving a message, which can be indirect or direct. Successful interpersonal communication is fulfilled when two or more persons understand the message being sent and received.
For example components of interpersonal communication such as indirect communication involve the use of body language, eye contact etc. and direct communication involves explicitly using language or speech acts to communicate.

communications

Communications is a jock major, which is to say that it is a very easy major for college students who want to drink and party and sleep around more than they want to learn and better themselves. Communications majors typically end up doing generic office jobs at best.

communication

Person A emits verbal tones in the form of sentences while Person B utilizes sense of hearing to transmit exact words to brain which in turn, re-creates the sentence to fit their own agenda and re-emits into a new and improved, yet rarely accurate, statement.
"What are the chances of us getting together, say 1 in 100?" He smiles
"More like 1 in 1,000,000." She grimaces
"So, you're saying there's a chance" He Grins

Communication Crutch

#1. A tool used, often in the form of an emoticon or acronym, that is relied upon to make a point or convey an emotion that the writer or speaker cannot do with their limited vocabulary.

#2: The use of acronyms like BRB, ROFL, OMG and WTF in spoken conversation as opposed to actually laughing, showing disbelief etc.

#3: A word, phrase or acronym that is so ingrained in someone's head, that they use without thinking if it's appropriate or even makes any sense at all.
Example of #1: She uses xD as a communication crutch because she isn't actually funny enough to make me laugh with only her words. She has to add that otherwise we wouldn't know it was a joke.

Example of #2: A person who uses 'ROFL' when speaking to them instead of actually laughing. This is a communication crutch because they either don't get the joke, don't know how to laugh or are just condescending assholes.

Example of #3: "I'm pretty sad, my grandma just died"
"That sucks lol"
"Why are you laughing about my grandma dying?"
"Sorry about that lol"
No matter what you say, this person has the communication crutch 'lol' and will automatically type it in every response.
