What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"? EXPLAIN.

Email is a quick way to send virtual "letters" to people with subjects, attachments, and bodies of text. I use email in my personal life for many uses such as emailing my family, friends, teachers, and colleges. Email is a quick way to send information to someone over the internet, so its a convenience to communicating with people. There are many different email domains such as Google, Yahoo, AOL, business domains, and school domains. Depending on the person to whom you are sending, the writing should change. If you are emailing something to a friend or family member, it can be treated like a text message. If its a professor, boss, coworker, unknown person, etc. then formal language should be used. Most of the time, you should greet and also say thank you for your time or sincerely in the end. Sometimes its appropriate to say something along the lines of: "I hope your day/week is going well so far" etc. There's usually two types of audiences only: informal and formal.
