I figure if there's any room for misinterpretation (like, if I don't know how to word something without sounding bitchy) I'll just call the person. If I'm sending documents, or emailing to confirm a conversation (i.e. "make it official") that's different and I totally agree. Its SO embarrassing to make a silly mistake and have others think you're an idiot when in fact you know exactly what you're talking about. (Can you tell that's happened to me? lol) This is particularly more prevalent now that almost everyone I deal with works on a blackberry. I understand emitting a few non-essential words so you have to type less, but sometimes those few words make all the difference!

Whenever I write emails, I make sure anyone could understand exactly what I mean, with no ambiguity. It takes longer and makes me appear wordy, but people understand me!
