I guess the courses that we used to attend where we learnt how to write correctly just aren't run anymore.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311552286893704284.post-52225385812877781972010-07-30T16:04:52.785-05:002010-07-30T16:04:52.785-05:00Great advice, thank.

However, I do fall into the exclamation point trap often when I'm trying to make an email with a not so happy topic a little more light. It isn't very professional. Even if I'm not doing technical writing for my company I can at least keep my emails clear and succinct. Thank you for the tips. I look forward to reading Ask the Publishing Guru each day and know that it is making me a better writer.Carlynoreply@blogger.com
