Add three colons and two semicolons-me up, I want an officer on hand to haul them off in cuffs; and whenever I receive an email without a proper greeting or sign off, I want to be able to zap the sender with so much spam that their inbox will melt!

You might think me harsh, but to misquote Shakespeare ‘ To be cruel is to be kind.’ Indeed, the punishment must fit the crime that’s the only way we’ll be able to change these habits.

So whenever you’re about to scoff, your snacks, pull out into traffic or click send, pause for a moment a remember the age-old maxim manners maketh man.
