Are you the person who sends too many of these...?

The chain letter. Just, you know, send on to another, another, your best, your 20 best friends. Don't do that to anybody, that's wrong.

Do you litter your emails with typed emoticons? Are you this guy with the inspirational sign-off?

I guess, yeah, yeah, I guess sometimes I'll do stupid things.

It's time for an email intervention 1.

Joy Weaver 2: It truly can wreck 3 a career, very crucial.

Etiquette 4 expert Joy Weaver was to change the world - one email at a time.

Right?!

Joy Weaver: Never send anything in writing that you would not want going to the entire world, or putting on a billboard 5, going down 635...

She's not just talking about vague subject lines, cutesy sign-offs and not using spell check. Joy has 6 email gaffes 6 anyone who is connected should consider.

First, recklessly hitting "Reply All". Joy says single out the person you are responding to. This one-click could wreck your career or friendships. Also, typing full names or addresses in the "TO" field for a mass email. Joy says not all of your recipients 7 want their information revealed to the masses. And e-mailing when you're angry, most people type things they'd never say in person. Save it as a draft until you've cooled off. Overusing emotions, write clearly and concisely 8, and you won't need that. Also, using all uppercase means you're screaming. And not replying within 24 hours, Joy says, is rude. Let the sender know that you did receive the email, even if you don't have an immediate 9 response.

Here is another faux pas, talking and typing, a lot of people do this with their Blackberries, and our etiquette expert says, put the Blackberry down and make eye contact when you're communicating.

We all have our E-pet peeves 10?

And they just keep on sending them and it's, it's ongoing 11 again, you can't, there's no way literally 12, avoid that.

Um, I guess when people use abbreviation, and assume you'll understand, but some help each others.

So digest and don't duplicate, no need to type something you wouldn't actually say or do.
