I'm sure most of us have been guilty of this more than once. We hammer out a quick message to a friend, coworker, client, or whoever it may be. We might leave out some punctuation, use txt speak, or otherwise get lazy in some way. Or worse, write something that could be considered derogatory to any other person besides who we're sending this to. And then it happens: that message gets forwarded around the block a few times, and your dirty laundry is aired. Your professionalism just took a HUGE hit. We can't control what happens to the message once we send it, but we CAN control the message we are sending. It's well worth the extra seconds needed to re-read and ensure we're not setting ourselves up for failure. Another helpful post, thank you AVC!!
