Don’t use these 4 words in email
Penelope Trunk wrote an interesting post on 4 words that sound nice when spoken, but not in email. Man, they make a lot of sense too, especially when she explains context. Here they be:
- Please
- Okay
- Fine
- Thank you
I’m also proud to report that I made 2 of these mistakes in an email I sent to someone this morning. Oops!
I also like some of the suggestions made in the comments.
What also irks you when people send emails?

I guess I took it with a grain of salt that those reading my blog weren’t interested in pushing emails about money laundering with your newly erected king dong.
But we have a request from Mr. Kordek that you don’t spam him!
