Do
you
ever
send or receive
e-mail? Are you on
the Internet a lot? Do
you go to chat rooms? Did you
know there are rules of behavior? These
are called Netiquette. The rules
can be applied across almost
every situation.
You can use
them
in
real
life
and in
Cyberspace.
These rules might
seem obvious to you. But
they will help your Internet experience
be more fun. Be Polite There's a reason
everybody has heard the saying,
"Do unto others as you
would have them do
unto you."
It holds
true,
both
in
real
life, and in
cyberspace! If you
stop to consider how your
actions will affect others on
the Internet and in real life, you'll
be one of the most respected Netizens
on the web. Being polite
doesn't just include
what you say.
It also
covers
how
you
say it,
and to whom.
If you use humor
or sarcasm in your writing,
be sure the recipient is going
to like your sense of humor. Never send
an e-mail when you're angry or
upset! If you're having
a bad day, it'll
probably show
in your
message.
And
most
importantly,
clarity, grammar,
and spelling always
count. Be Patient Everybody
was new to the Internet at one
time or another! Be patient with those
who are new. If someone shows
poor Netiquette, don't
get angry with them.
Politely respond
and tell
them
of
their
error.
Usually, the
other person will
be thankful for the advice.
You may even find that you have
made a new friend. Sometimes you'll
bump into someone that you just
don't see eye to eye with.
In those cases, all
you can do
is agree
to
