Reverse Outline: Email Etiquette

Image Source

1. Introduction: Describes himself and how he communicates through emails, compared how more powerful people communicate through emails.

2. Thesis: "See, the e-blurt, like so many modes of personal expression, is all about power."

3. Support: Powerful people spell poorly on purpose showing that they are busier, hence they are more powerful.
 
    Support: High power doesn't necessarily mean good or high level grammar. "Hip power" meaning not as formal.

    Support: "What are you trying to say?" Making the people under you try to guess what you're trying to say. They think that they are to important to correct themselves.

4. Counter argument: He talked to his lawyer friend and she said that "If your poorly written email messages are retained as one of the companies electronic business records, and the company is hit with a lawsuit, and your email is subpoenaed, the fact that your messages were written in an unprofessional, illogical way could come back to haunt not only you but the company as well."

5. Conclusion (not very long): Basically just restates the thesis.

6. Thesis #2: "Which only confirms what I always felt about power; That the people that really understand it don't say anything at all."
