There is an old saying: No one thinks he's a bad driver. Here's an updated 21stcentury version: No one thinks he sends annoying e-mails.        But, plenty of us do.        Aprefix = st1 /PrincetonUniversityresearch found that 22 percent of Americans say e-mail has added to their work pressures and caused misunderstandings. Here's a guide on e-mail etiquette to help you avoid being annoying.        Experts say there are three types of e-mails with different rules--close friends, office and public e-mails.The close friends e- mail        You can send your lover, your closest friends and your siblings(brothers and sisters)anything from jokes to"you gotta see this!".But bear in mind that not everyone shares your sense of humour and you may expose them to viruses.The office e-mail        Don't add to people's workload. Keep e-mails short and to the point.        *Make the subject line factual and brief.        *Write in clear, concise sentences.        *Provide your name and phone number at the end.The Public e-mail        Occasionally we have to send an e-mail to a group of people. If possible, write your public e-mails with a who, what, when, where structure. For example:        Who:All members of the soccer team        What:Team photo        When:Saturday, March 25, at noon        Where:Playing field 2.        Finally, before you hit"Send", check the following.        *Is the e-mail a"flame"? Never send an e-mail in anger. It could stay around forever and haunt your professional and personal life.        *Check the "To"field. Is this really who you want to send the message to?        *Spell-check the message. Does it have an error that can affect you badly? The writer uses the old saying at the beginning of the passage to show that_.
