We were learning proper e-mailing etiquette in English today, and my teacher was describing things we should do to make an e-mail message acceptable. Things she mentioned were:
-Avoid Shouting (Using all caps)
-Reply in a speedy fashion.
-Use proper grammar.
-Don't send big news... E-mails are too impersonal.
-Avoid emoticons and shortcuts. (AKA 1337 only she said "Ebonics"...LMFAO)
-And the funniest thing she said was, "You need to avoid e-mail rage. This is known as 'flaming.' Remember, no one likes a flamer."
And that's when I lost it. To me it seemed so odd that my "always proper" teacher was talking about flaming and flamers.
Our assignment is to write her an e-mail message based on the specifications she listed. I want to send a joke one like this:
