Complete sentences convey complete thought.

Sentence fragments
Immediately
behind email shorthand, the second leading Netiquette grammatical
mistake is the area of sentence fragments. Typically, sentence fragments
resemble real sentences; some can be quite long. They begin with a capital
letter, conclude with an end mark, and lack an independent main clause. One
should be mindful of common mistakes that contribute to or cause incomplete
sentences.
Dependent
clauses begin with subordinating words:
|
Subordinate
Clause
|
|
A number
of words missing either a noun or a verb
|
|
Present participle
|
|
Verb + ing
|
|
Infinitive
|
|
To + verb
|
|
Afterthought
Fragment
|
|
Especially,
for example, for instance, like, such as, including, except, because
|
|
Verb
Fragment
|
|
No noun (i.e.,
Am at home)
|
|
Intentional
Fragment
|
|
Not a
chance, great to hear
|
Intentional fragments are acceptable from a Netiquette definition but
should only be used informally. Without a full, completed sentence, there are a
number of undesired message outcomes. Misinterpreted tone is one of these,
misunderstood content is another, and the chance of a disrespectful reaction is
still another. Again, it should be kept in mind that brevity does not
necessarily relate to efficiency. This is particularly true for the recipient,
as a fragment may require rereading a message or awaiting more words of
clarification.
Words
that most often begin a sentence fragment:
|
after
|
since
|
whereas
|
|
although
|
so
|
wherever
|
|
as
|
so that
|
whether
|
|
because
|
than
|
which
|
|
before
|
that
|
whichever
|

even if
|
though
