You'd think I was writing the Great American Novel. What is it about an email that makes me edit it to death? Way back when I wrote a letter I didn't erase, delete, cut, paste and copy. I just let the words flow. It may have something to do with the instant response that it may or may not provoke. Its not uncommon to send off an email only to receive an answer that makes me sit back and say HUH!?
How many times have I had to explain myself from an instant message? It's easy to be misunderstood.
I have a love hate relationship with texting. Not everyone texts equally. Can someone write a texting etiquette, please? Think of it like a walkie talkie or a ham radio, you need to 10-4 over and out or something. As it is, I'm left hanging a lot, waiting for a reply that never comes, or unsure if I should reply.
There are just too many ways these days to miscommunicate.
Talking is hard enough, thank you.
