Women in emails tend to be chattier, friendlier, and far more likely to apologize for troubling you, or to thank you multiple times for doing something you were supposed to do anyway. When I write emails myself, I find myself double-checking them before I send them, to make sure I’m not completely debasing myself. Usually I force myself to at least erase an extraneous exclamation point or two.
Hm. Find myself more in this category than a) the overly terse angry email and b) I’m comfortable with. I “email like a girl”? ;)
This comes from some analysis of the emails seized in the Enron scandal. Great fodder for sociologists studying email communication.
