Emails remain the basic tool of business communication, despite the rise of professional messaging services like Slack. That means you need to take care when writing them, being careful not to commit certain faux pas so as not to incur the wrath of your colleagues or managers.

The email marketing agency EmailTooltester surveyed nearly a thousand US employees to find out which email habits irritate them most at work. It turns out that a quarter of respondents say they get annoyed when they receive an email in which their first or last name is misspelled. Yet 15% of them admit to having already made this mistake in the course of their career.
