Introduction

Internet etiquette or netiquette is a guide to determine the appropriate language or behavior while using the Internet. There are many people surfing the Internet everyday and with most public domains there are rules and regulations that should be followed.

Because we rarely see the person to whom one may be communicating with, it is important to remember you are talking with another person. Therefore, proper language should be used at all times.

Don’t write lengthy emails.

Common Courtesy with Internet Etiquette – E-mailing

When forwarding e-mails, copy the e-mail and send it as new rather than just forwarding it. This eliminates the “>” at the beginning of each line.

Make sure to run a virus update prior to e-mailing to ensure that the e-mails and attachments are virus-free.
