Where Has Email Etiquette Gone?

Where Has Email Etiquette Gone?
We are now in the year 2009! We are now in the year 2009! It is a new time, a time of high speed internet, and mobile everything, life as we know it has been put in fast forward. Fast food is now too slow, we are part of a society that wants everything now, and there is no time for waiting.

The day of written letters for friendly corresponds have been thrown aside and replaced with a faster form of communication Email. The fastest most reliable form of communication, yet is it the more efficient?

The art of a properly written English letter has sadly been disregarded. And replaced with slang and lingo, which opens up an entirely new way of communication. Rules only exists in the hand of the individual preparing the email, and the rules they hold are the rules the want to keep, or the rules they have made up.

Is this the future of communication? Or is this just the first inclination of the future before us? Will we become a society that abolishes rules and formal organization, for convenience?

I will not! It is time to fight, to bring back Etiquette.
