Sentences
Email
has significantly changed not only the ways we communicate, but it has changed
some basic proclivities as well. The need, real or perceived, to compose or
reply quickly to email has reduced much of the structure which defined written
communication in the past. Most senders will utilize at some point as little as
one word or even an abbreviation (e.g., FYI,
OK) as the entire content of an
email.
In
order to communicate clearly and effectively, some basic rules
should apply to email sentences. Make sure that all sentences include the
necessary parts of speech. All sentences should have at least a noun and a
verb. Instead of “OK,” say, “That is good,” or “I will.” Better still, use an
adjective or adverb to better define a sentence. And even better, have a direct
object for your sentences, when appropriate. Notice the difference for
answering a request to read a proposal:
OK
Definitely
I
will
I
will definitely read.
I
will read it. (pronoun)
And best of all, use a noun object: “I will
read the proposal.” Using articles also enhances your communication. One of the
most abandoned aspects of writing and grammar is the use of the article: “Please
read attached” is written better when you say, “Please read the attached.”
Unacceptable
short emails:
1. Sure.
2. You bet.
3. You’re wrong.
4. No way.
5. Sorry.
6. Forget it.
7. Any stand-alone

8. Nope.
9. A single-word
abbreviation (PLS, THX, and others).
10. Single acronyms (USPS, AARP, and
so forth).
