Ok, here's the situation. The company I currently work for has a marketing department. Part of one of our projects is an "outward facing" website.
The problem is, the marketing department comes up with verbiage for this website. I don't know if they get it approved or what, but some of it, in my opinion, needs to change.
For instance, they use "textspeak" on the site. Things like BFF, TTYL and such. They also use phrases like "pretty please" and "wee bit" (as in "a wee bit more information").
I think using stuff like this is very unprofessional to use. And if I were to use a website like this, and saw things like that on there, I wouldn't proceed any further.
They could be using that because of market research for all I know. I just think it's unprofessional.
I'm trying to think of a kind, diplomatic way to tell them I think that verbiage should be removed.
Any ideas?
