What Are your Biggest Email Pet Peeves? [Infographic]

In an infographic by the crew over at Sendmail, they show us that there’s a definite correlation at how we use email and our personality type. Whereas an extrovert would use a phrase like “let’s talk this over,” an introvert would use “I need to talk about this” in an email, according to the infographic.

A few points we were able to take away from the infographic:

• Millennials are 7 percent more annoyed by bad grammar.
• The biggest email pet peeve for a sender is when they don’t receive a reply.
• Email recipients really dislike when Reply All is used too liberally.

Other pain points:

• When people don’t reply – 51 percent
• Too many Reply Alls – 25 percent
• Emails that are confusing or vague – 19 percent
• Emails that are too long – 12 percent
