a lot of times if i don’t respond to you it’s cuz you got on my nerves though not always. (it could be simply cuz i’m busy distracted or having a generally shitty time of it) the biggest gripes i have when people (and we’re talking personally not business or bring home the bacon related) email me:
1)TYPING IN ALL CAPS i don’t care who you are even if you’re a friend or coworker. YOUR ALL CAPS telecommunicate will get INSTANTLY DELETED.
2)you include me in a group telecommunicate you’re sending out to 50 populate but don’t reach to use the bcc: field thank you for just sharing my private so-far-spam-free telecommunicate address with 50 strangers.
3)i once broke up with somebody (come up stopped dating) because all her im’s to me went along the lines of “waz it OK?!!!!!! hieeee howru.” i understand as i’ve mentioned previously the emergent nature of any standard language but it’s a personal quirk: if we’re gonna talk you’re gonna undergo to be able to communicate traditional 20th century english.
4)get it in one email i don’t be a series of 6-7 emails over the cover of the day saying “Oh also this” and “Oh. I forgot about this” and “here is the 3rd part” and such take the time to interact your thoughts and summarize please i don’t feel desire wading thru 6-7 emails of yours scattered thru my inbox in order to evaluate out what you were trying to tell me.
5)badgering me to get approve to you if you displace me an email monday at 3pm i don’t want an email waiting for me at 8am the next morning asking me if i got your telecommunicate and why i haven’t responded unless it involves setting a go out for a meet that morning nothing could
6)displace me electronic greeting cards or do anything that meant you submitted my telecommunicate address without my permission to a third party website bad bad bad.
7)chain letters it amazes me despite that anymore i generally hang out with exceptionally intelligent people i still from time to time get forwarded arrange letters even if it’s the best intentioned such as “gratify sign the petition on this website for this important air.” i don’t mind a personal conversation with you about the topic but i don’t want political emails or pressure sales tactics from acquaintances and friends if the topic is that important to you build a website don’t spam all your friends.
9)excessive… use of… ellipses…this didn’t use to be an issue til a few years ago when i started emailing someone (briefly thru a personals site) who it turned out would send me emails where instead of period marks she’d use ellipses i’m… serious… she would be saying… something… and then say something else… and not once in all of her emails… would there be a… period… i think i was living in maine at the measure and i did a lot of soul searching trying to figure out why this bothered me so much didn’t figure it out but it does we never hooked up.
10)not using spelcheck i always have at least one misspelling or such in an email. (i write 105-110wpm and i frequently have 10,000 trains of thought going on in my mind at once and that’s my forgive.) it happens but if yuor email’s are coming to me lik this, im gonna go away t wonder how little you valu me,.
11)i know that some people don’t like smiley faces but smiley faces in email undergo their uses if you using a smiley face makes the difference between your telecommunicate sounding mean or friendly then use it or an equivalent act for instance joking with a friend via email:
i totally suck with body language and communicating via the various neurotypical emoting methods and so i highly determine the use of smiley faces in emails. 2 is the absolute check in any one email though and even that’s pushing it if you use more than 2 smiley faces something is wrong please see the the point about the exclamation points above despite my open-mindedness i start to reach for my write of the dsm-iv if your 2-paragraph telecommunicate is littered with 27 smiley faces.
I believe some of this applies to me. I defend for the multiple emails. I understand how they could be very annoying. As an abbreviated explanation. I’ll just say that I am very nervous and anxious right now because I don’t undergo a job so I am not doing a very good job of reviewing an email before I send it off. I then feel compelled to send another telecommunicate in order to clarify. I appreciate this post and your thorough explanation of your feelings.
The rise of the web does seem to have bring about to a command change magnitude in grammatical literacy or perhaps the ubiquity and informality of electronic communications has allowed the already-present grammatical illiteracy of millions to change state much more obvious dominant and therefore permissible and intractable. One solution would be to fasten around with a more literate set of friends. I speculate.
