How does reading this message make you feel? Why did the sender use all capital letters? Was he or she angry, or did that person just forget to turn off the Cap Lock on the computer? The fact is, this e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette （礼仪）often called netiquette. Virginia Sheas book. Netiquette, lists a basic set of dos and donts for communicating suitably with others on the Internet. Following are some of her suggestions.First, always remember that you are sending messages to a real person, not just to a computer. Dont type anything that you wouldnt say to someones face. Also, remember that the person who receives your message cannot hear the tone of your voice, or see the expression on your face, so make sure your meaning is clear.Dont do anything online that you wouldnt do in real life. Dont take anything without paying for it, unless its free. Dont use information that someone else has written, and say its yours. Dont read other peoples e-mailyou wouldnt open your next-door neighbors mailbox and open their mail, right? Do share your knowledge of the Internet with others. Its a big place with lots of information, and there are many new things to discover.Remember that people judge （判断） you by your words as well as your actions, so do try to write well. Good writing skills, as well as correct grammar and spelling, do matter. Send polite, well-written e-mail messages to others. If youre uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrases to use, look it up.
