Calling Miss Manners

July 29, 2005 · Filed Under Cell Phones, Manners, e-mail · Comment 

According to a recent article in Forbes Magazine, based upon a survey conducted by the research company Synovate,  52% of Americans believe they would "die" if their cell phones or email were taken away….to prove just how important our cell phones and email rights are to us, the same study indicates that we are more than willing to forgo any semblance of good manners to stay connected. The study reported that 68% of Americans report observations of poor etiquette at least once a day by cell phone users and 18% report poor email etiquette. Loud conversations in public places are noted as the worst of cell phone offenses while sending along chain emails and poor grammer are the worst email practices.
