Why YSK: These email tips are helpful for people who struggle with boundaries and want to communicate more assertively.

Some of these are good, because getting into the habit of thanking people for helping (“thanks for catching that!”) fosters good working relationships or providing specifics that, presumably, work for you, too (“can you do [x] times?”) is a better starting point than being truly open ended.
But I well and truly despise the “thanks for your patience/when can I expect” because we ALL know what you mean and I respect someone far more if they acknowledge, explain, and move on from their errors than just…reword shit.
I like how this post started a lot of good discussions on what people like and dislike in email communication. Really lively in here.
I imagine a LOT of us have many, teeth-clenching opinions on what constitutes a good email. XD
Problem’s already been solved, however: it’s mine. My way’s the best.
Haha, this is exactly it. The comments here make it obvious people have OPINIONS. I’m here to enjoy it.
Um, I think someone may have hit you upside the head because it’s obvious and clear that my way is the best.
I think this is also a big cultural thing. Some countries really value directness, others see that as rude.
