Keep Your Emails Short and Read Them Aloud to Ensure Your Reader Gets the Message, Error-Free [Email]

We've discussed how you should keep your emails organized and brief, especially when emailing people who get a lot of mail or you know are busy, but the folks at the blog Pick the Brain have another great suggestion: read your message aloud before sending it to make sure you're getting the message across.

Reading what you write aloud before you submit it for public view is an old writer's trick, one that's especially useful when you need to proofread something you've written. One commenter at Pick the Brain notes that it's good for writing better email as well, and ensures you avoid language that can have multiple meanings or make ambiguous statements that will delay a response from your recipient. The article has a number of other great techniques to make sure your emails are read and understood, some of which we mentioned before, but it's worth a look if you need a refresher. What are some other techniques you use to make sure you avoid confusion in your emails? Share your suggestions in the comments below.
