I've read some papers written by graduate students that contain horrible grammar, poor sentence structure and wrong punctuation. But, I'm also the king of the run on sentence! Regarding emails, I have discovered that, because they do not communicate tone of voice or body language, they are sometimes misunderstood. This is particularly important when the topic of the email contains a somewhat touchy or even critical subject or issue. I've discovered that people often read negativity, sarcasm and criticism into emails that were not intended by the writer. It may have been the writer's fault for not being clear enough, but the emotional filter of the recipient may also be a factor. This rationalization makes it possible for me to avoid having to take all the blame for the misunderstanding. :) I tried to take my medicine. howd i dew i jus red yur blog & thot id tri to xpres meself w clearity. howamidoin; sirrusly :)
