“Netiquette” Do’s and Don’tsBy Sarah Byrne

For many people all over the world, e-mail is the best way of communicating quickly, cheaply and easily. Because it is so fast and easy, it is also very easy to miscommunicate. To send clear, easy-to understand e-mails, follow these basic rules of e-mail use-called network etiquette, or “netiquette.”

Netiquette Do’s

1. Keep your e-mails short. Separate your ideas into different paragraphs. Some people receivehundreds of e-mails a day. They hate reading through long messages. They want to receive short,easy-to-read messages.

2. Check your message before you send it. Make sure it says what you want it to say. Rememberthat you are writing, not talking. For example, how can you show in writing that you are joking? One way is to use “emoticons”. These are pictures made with punctuation marks, like : ). The colon is the two eyes and the parenthesis is the mouth.

3. Check your spelling. There is no reason for poor spelling, even in e-mail.4. Fill in the subject for each e-mail. This helps people organize e-mails and find old ones. Also, if someone has hundreds of e-mails to read, he or she might not read one without a subject, just to save time.

5. Include your “signature” at the end of every message. Every message should include yoursignature because it is not always clear who sent an e-mail. An e-mail signature includes your full name, e-mail address, and often your “snail mail” or street address and telephone number.

Netiquette Don’ts

6. Don’t use all capital letters. This is the e same as SHOUTING. It is rude.

7. Don’t send everyone a copy when you only want to send a message to one person. Often we sent messages as a “cc” (carbon copy-the old word for a copy of a letter). When we reply to these messages, we have to be very careful to reply only the person we want to read our message.

8. Don’t send e-mails when you are angry or upset. These messages are called “flames”. Wait until you are calm to reply. Also, don’t send -mails that will get you flamed. Be polite and try not to make anyone angry or upset.

9. Don’t think e-mail is private. E-mail is written communication. Never write something in an email that you wouldn’t say in public.

An adjective is a word whose main syntactic role is to qualify a noun or noun phrase, giving more information about the object signified.

DefinitionAdverbs are words that modify a verb (He drove slowly. — How did he drive?) an adjective (He drove a very fast car. — How fast was his car?) another adverb (She moved quite slowly down the aisle. — How slowly did she move?)

As we will see, adverbs often tell when, where, why, or under what conditions something happens or happened. Adverbs frequently end in -ly; however, many words and phrases not ending in -ly serve an adverbial function and an -ly ending is not a guarantee that a word is an adverb.

The words lovely, lonely, motherly, friendly, neighborly, for instance, are adjectives: That lovely woman lives in a friendly neighborhood.

Simple PastFORM

[VERB+ed] or irregular verbs

Examples:•You called Debbie. •Did you call Debbie? •You did not call Debbie.

USE 1 Completed Action in the Past Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have one specific time in mind.Examples:

•I saw a movie yesterday. •I didn't see a play yesterday. •Last year, I traveled to Japan. •Last year, I didn't travel to Korea. •Did you have dinner last night? •She washed her car. •He didn't wash his car.

USE 2 A Series of Completed Actions We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on. Examples:•I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim. •He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at 10:00. •Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then add the eggs?
