Email words of power and positive resonance

Certain words will add extra positive tone, receptivity and effect when they are used. Many of these transcend timing, location or type of email. These are cornerstones of Netiquette vocabulary and can hardly ever be misunderstood. The following is a partial list of these.

Words for email senders to avoid (torpedoes) - part two

Our last blog listed ten words which can destroy a sender's credibility, even to point of preventing an email or future email from being read. We call these words "torpedoes". This can be devastating if the email has a critical message or important attachment. Here is the list of the second top ten of words to keep out of messages whenever possible. They are followed by a comment on how these might be bad Netiquette and how the reader or recipient might view them.

1. Bring it on - arrogant
2. With all due respect - condescending
3. Works for me - trite and clichéd
4. You know - weak
5. I am not going to lie (to you) - implies lack of truth
6. And so forth... - a crutch
7. All intents and purposes, worse yet "all intends and purposes" -  clichéd and a crutch
8. Results oriented - weak and overused
9. Transferrable skills - implies a lack of capabilities
10. Job duties far exceeded... - an overgeneralization

All of these should be watched. When our product NetiquetteIQ is released, these types of words or phrases will be automatically flagged.

Coming up on our next blog will be the final installment of  torpedo words.

Words or phrases which can torpedo one's email or attachments

 

 

 When authoring  an email, the writer depends on many items to assure that their intended content is clear, factual and easily understood. If the email recipient is not someone the sender knows, then tone and accuracy are essential to insure the both the message and any attachments are read. Often, a poorly written email will preclude the reader opening any attachment or even future messages from the sender.

The consequences such a scenario can bring include resumes, contracts, proposals, invoices or any of a number of important documents not even being read. The following  represent potential "torpedo" words or short phrases which can change the entire content of a message.

1. Truth of the matter
2. Quite frankly
3. Take it the next level
4. The thing is
5. As it were
6. At the end of the day
7. And so forth
8. To be perfectly honest
9. With all due respect
10. Mark my words

As trite as these are, there are a number which can be even worse. Our next blog will list these.
