How to Jerk-Proof Your Emails
Introduction
In the rush of daily life, it's easy to dash off a quick email without considering how it might be received. Whether you're trying to tell a joke or simply having a bad day, remember that the recipient can't hear your tone or see your expressions. This makes it crucial to carefully choose your words.
Personal Experience
I always try to maintain a cheerful attitude when writing emails, especially when I'm upset. Yet, even with this mindset, I sometimes need to remind myself of key email etiquette principles.
For instance, I recently replied to an email with:
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not a tech person."
Although my intention was innocent?"I was genuinely confused as I'm not in IT?"the wording came across as dismissive. It could easily be interpreted as, "You're wasting my time. Go bother someone else."
Thankfully, the recipient pointed out how this could be misunderstood:
"People read different things into emails. Read yours again and see how it sounds."
Tips to Jerk-Proof Your Emails
Here are some strategies to ensure your emails convey the right message:
- Smile While Typing: A positive attitude can often translate into compassionate wording.
- Read Aloud Before Sending: Hearing your words can help you detect unintended tones.
- Reflect: Ask yourself, “How would I feel receiving this email?”
- Avoid Sarcasm: It rarely translates well in text. If you must use it, consider adding a :) to clarify your tone.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure your emails reflect the respect and clarity you intend, leaving no room for misinterpretation.
