E-Mail Blues

Posted by Jonah Weiland in General -

Here’s an interesting article about the many issues inherent with e-mail correspondence. I can’t say I’ve had exactly these problems with e-mail, but misinterpreting instant message conversations is rather common, even with pernicious use of emoticons (Avoid emoticons! Ohh, that’s a good idea for a T-Shirt.). I’ve discovered over the years you have to be overly descriptive and clear in instant message conversations. The same goes for e-mail, too, apparently.
