Netiquette is a combination of “net” (from internet) and “etiquette.” It is a set of rules to help us respect others and use courtesy when communicating online. When emailing and posting information online, it is important to be respectful of others and aware that online communication requires that we take care to avoid misunderstandings. Online communication should be clear and to the point. Since others often can’t see us or hear meaning in our tone of voice, we need to do our best to make online communication positive and easily understood. Online posts should not be hurtful to others.
