Good lord what is it with people and thinking email is like talking on the phone? I have compiled a list of the top 10 email screw-ups that I routinely come across.

1. There is a spell check for a reason people – USE IT! I’m really not sure how some of these people even got their jobs when they don’t understand proper grammar skills.
2. Oh, so you think your reply should go to all 200+ receipts? I had no idea that your response was that inspiring that it should be shared with the whole company.
3. I planed on responding to your email request you don’t need to ask for updates after 5 minutes of sending the original one. You really need to step away from the computer.
4. I understand you’re busy but do you really need to reply to emails why in the stall in the bathroom? That is just plain disgusting. Some things can wait.
5. It is just an email message and unless it says you are fired you really need to stop deep sighing so your coworkers twenty feet away are asking if everything is okay.
6. I don’t see a microphone attached to your computer and it doesn’t look like you have Siri app on your flip phone so please stop talking to the monitor so everyone knows all the details of what you are working on.
7. This is not text messaging so please stop shortening every word you can.
8. Stop using slang because not everyone on your distribution list knows what you’re talking about
9. The recall application doesn’t work 30 minutes after you sent the email and it doesn’t bode well with you when you do it every.single.time.
10. Two to three words don’t count as an email – pick up the phone instead and the information you need
11. This is a bonus one: GOOGLE IT! We all get those emails with the most simple request and the answer could have been found if they took 5 seconds to think about it.
