Digital Etiquette & Email Basics

Netiquette is the set of polite habits people use online. Because the reader cannot see your face or hear your voice, words on a screen can feel sharper than you mean them to. Choosing kind language, full sentences, and a clear subject line keeps your message friendly and easy to read.
