Email challenged? Never fear, Jummy is on the case!
by Jummy
If you agonize over writing emails and worry that you’re not saying what you mean to say the moment you click “send”, I urge you to save your emails in draft form until Monday. That’s right: on Monday May 21, I will be sharing an interview with an expert in the area of business etiquette, especially as it relates to emails and online communication.
In the meantime, I’d like you to tell me what email blunders cause you to grit your teeth.
Mine include:
- Being addressed by an incorrectly spelled name by somebody replying to an email I sent where my name is spelled out
- Misleading/unclear subject titles
- Emails riddled with incorrect spelling and grammar
- A constant stream of forwards from someone without any real emails from them to break things up
And don’t get me started on spam!

Argh, it irks me when people send an email, where their whole message is in the subject field, and have little, or nothing in the body.
The other thing that gets up my nose is when people insert their signature within every single reply. It’s fine when you have it at the bottom of ORIGINAL email - but replies don’t need them. I don’t know of any email program that inserts it automatically in a REPLY, so I’m sure they just put it in themselves! I already wrote to them, they don’t need to tell me who they are again… LOL.
