Don't use these 4 words in email
May 3, 2007 · Chris Peters
Avoid these no-nos.
Penelope Trunk wrote an interesting post on 4 words that sound nice when spoken, but not in email. Man, they make a lot of sense too, especially when she explains context.
Here they be:
- Please
- Okay
- Fine
- Thank you
I’m also proud to report that I made 2 of these mistakes in an email I sent to someone this morning. Oops!
I also like some of the suggestions made in the comments.
What also irks you when people send emails?
