It’s no wonder my students don’t remember to do what I tell them; I don’t remember it either.
I have made great strides in remembering to treat email as if it were a letter as it references in name rather than the memorandum form it echoes visually. But yesterday one of my chairs read out an email I wrote to her, “‘Dear X,’ No, it doesn’t say Dear, it just says X.”
Guess I really need to work on that.
