There are several interesting ways to convey emotions and gestures in e-mail messages. One that I find rather fun to use is Smileys! Smileys are called emoticons. They represent human faces if you turn them sideways. Here are a few of the most commonly used.
Abbreviations: Abbreviations are commonly used in messages to save time typing. Most often to someone you know very well. Here are a some samples of abbreviations.
Flame: A flame is an angry or insulting message directed at one person. A flamewar is an argument that continues for a while. Avoid starting or participating in flamewars. Shouting: AMESSAGE WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS IS ANNOYING AND HARD TO READ. THIS IS CALLED SHOUTING. Always use upper and lower case letters when typing messages. Bounced Message: A bounced message is a message that returns to you because it cannot reach its destination. A message usually bounces because of typing mistakes in the e-mail address. Before sending a message, check for typing errors. |
