I Think emails are weird along with the etiquette that goes with it. I mean, it's not like texting or instant messaging. You know like
"ayy bb wanna go out 2nite"
"mm i have too much homework :("
"Whatever, I never loved you anyway"
"well, I'm pregnant" there is no limit to how informal you could be but when people use email as a medium to contact me I
Feel the need to have more
Discretion because that's how I see emails
Electronic mail, and you wouldn't put LOL's and emoticons in mail
Lmao, here's your cheque. I'm Canadian, so I spell it that way for
$1,200 :)
# makeitrain on one hand. I feel the need to sound professional
Especially if it's business related, but on the other I don't want to sound boring and uninterested in the topic
So when you eliminate text lingo and emoticons you're left with a default english language or whatever you speak and proper your punctuation
but if you're like me
I like to Express emotion into my words especially if it's not in person or on the phone because I hate when people Misconstrue
The tone of my messages, so for me when I write an email. What ends up happening is something like this
