An Ode to Email Etiquette
these unspoken rules are so confusing
are they even unspoken?
after all, i was taught email etiquette in school
what a strange skill to learn
i type exclamation points at a frequency a man never would
i want to sound polite
but i decide there’s too many
so a period will suffice
and for the love of all that is holy

how many exclamation points is too many? why are we taught that excitement and or politeness is unprofessional?
nice job!
I also find myself in the same quandary. How many exclamation points are too many?
Also, great, humorous ending.
