Emails
Email is the primary form of official, traceable communication in an academic and business environment. However, many struggle with the usually unspoken rules of emailing peers and superiors. To start, “email” as a word means “electronic mail,” meaning it needs to be written like a letter, rather than a text.
Email is a traceable and archivable form of communication for academic, business, and bureaucratic settings. To explain...
