Default Re: sleepy and notice


Dear Riverkid,

Thank you very much for your explanation. May I say that 'notice' is more formal or official than 'announcement'? Or everyone can make announcement but only government officials can give notice?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.

Jiang

Yes, you can say that, Jiang. With 'notice' there seems to be an implication, at least a possible one that there could be some law/rule/regulation/prohibition involved whereas with 'announcement', it's more neutral, more like simply giving information.
