Punctuation and Misinterpreting dates



                                                

                                         

Dates:

Dates are important part in writing an email. First make sure about the dates when you are writing emails. Dates are easy to mix up and not being clear may cause you or the recipient to miss deadlines, meetings, or other important things. 06/03, for example, may be taken as June third by some and March second by others. Try spelling out the whole month, or if you are in a rush, “June 3rd” is much less confusing than 02-03 or 02/03. Dates can also spoil everything because if you are giving someone some important dates then please keep in mind that it should be correct.

Punctuation:

Punctuation is main part of an email, without proper use of punctuation symbol an email may be hard to read for the receiver. Punctuation symbol like comma, question mark, quotations, a period etc. Punctuation describes whether email is good or bad, right or wrong. For example, without a question mark the reader of the email may not understand you are trying to ask a question. The responding email would therefore not answer your question or be confusing as the reader may not have understood the email in the way it was intended.
