Reducing Aggression in Email Communication
Avoid email blunders that can accidentally send the wrong message, communicate aggression, or demonstrate emotions you do not intend by steering clear of those "digital do not's": 1) Unless explained clearly, do not use "ASAP." It reads like a barked order. 2) Do not use "reply all" unless the topic concerns all recipients. 3) Do not use all uppercase letters - this is perceived as SHOUTING. 4) Do not use chat and texting acronyms. "LOL" is an example that most people understand, but there are hundreds of other mind-teasing examples. See a list at www.netlingo.com/acronyms.php. 5) Do not send an email when you are upset; send it to yourself first. After you calm down and then read it, you will likely change it.
