I thought I would enlighten those who never took Business Communications in college, but here are some tips on how to be more polite with email:

1. Respond to the ENTIRE email- If I ask you “Do you want to go and if so, what time?” then replying with “Yes” is not valid.
2. Hit “Reply All” when necessary- Don’t make someone else forward a message to everybody because you forgot to hit reply all.
3. DON’T WRITE IN ALL CAPS
4. Don’t forward me chain letters

I know this is a short list, but what else am I missing?
