Group+Three

Introduction:
If I was going to a wedding, wouldn't I dress differently than if I was going to a barbecue at my brother's house? When I talk to someone on the phone or in person or chat with them online, I will interact differently with that person in each of these instances? Each scenario calls for a different mode of communication. When I send an e-mail, I will write differently than if I hand in a report to my Language Arts teacher.

There are times when we need to be formal and there are times when we need to be informal. Netiquette helps us remember how to interact with each other online.
