Announcement? Notice?
Hey guys,

I want somebody to clarify these two words for me. Announcement and Notice.
What's the difference in usage?
For example, which one should I use if I have to send information or updates to employees? or when I have to send written request to other companies?

Thank you in advance.
Have a good day!

Answer

Somebody can correct me if im wrong but

Notice: this would be a word used for everyone to be aware of something / someone

A sentence: Notice me dad

Notice can also be used to notify someone. an example of this would be a notice left by the irs telling you to pay your taxes.

Announcement: is something everyone needs to hear or something you are trying to tell people.

A sentence: Hey everybody, Rick has an important announcement to make.

Answer

To me, a notice is a written indication of something either current or in the future.

An announcement is more public, think PA system, and thus is often verbal in nature such as telling people that the bus will be late, etc.

Others may see things differently.
