O'Conner and Stewart Kellerman in <I>You Send Me</I>, "much of what passes for writing in cyberspace is dreadful." Sending e-mail, joining chat rooms, and putting up Web sites is so easy that you might think the writing doesn't matter. Guess again. "When you write well, you connect," say the authors. "When you write badly, you don't." Some of <I>You Send Me</I>--lessons on grammar, punctuation, spelling, and confusing words--applies to all writing; the rest is tailored to online writing, particularly e-mailing. There's advice on writing subject lines, getting to the point, and getting the facts right. The authors recommend politeness and discretion, the use of the Shift key, and the inclusion of greetings and closings. Ask permission before sending attachments, they advise, "don't put anything in an office e-mail that you wouldn't want the whole office to see," "go easy on the Forward button," and "never hit Send in anger." And remember: "The less time you spend thinking about your message," they say, "the more time someone else has to spend reading it." <I>--Jane Steinberg</I> 922833 22 8 2002 You Send Me: Getting It Right When You Write Online total:1|3:1| 1 3 9 1 937857 0151005931 9780151005932 1 1 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179627653m/937857.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/937857.You_Send_Me_Getting_It_Right_When_You_Write_Online 3 0 false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Fri Jul 13 13:23:27 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 13 14:18:40 -0700 2007
After reading this book once, you are golden. I would hardly recommend keeping it as a reference or anything of that sort. It provides useful advice and offers some compelling advice about email etiquette.
