My thoughts on email etiquette and some other stuff :)

How many times have we all furiously written and quick email pressed send and put very little thought into it. For me that is how I pretty much always send an email. But did you know there is actually such think as email etiquette? Besides several of the common rules which I hope most of you know, like never send credit card information via email or usernames and passwords, there were a few rule that I had never considered to be rules before. For instance you should never keep sending emails back and forth just simply pressing reply leaving all the old messages copied below the new one. I do this way to much. Its not proper etiquette to just leave the messages pasted there in the bottom. Who would have thought? The next rule on the list that left me feeling guilty was the proper use of spelling, punctuation and capitalization. Now I know this is a pretty common rule and we all should know better, but how many of use are guilty of using our "text" lingo in am email. Or often times simply not proof reading, leaving out commas, and no capitalizing. With how often we as a society use technology you'd think wed have these simple rule engraved in our minds. Looks like we need to take a little more time to educate ourselves and the proper use of the technology that rules our lives. At least I know I do!!!
