The word netiquette combines net, the abbreviation of the word internet, with etiquette, the code of correct behavior within a specific social environment.

Etiquette varies from one society to another, but because the internet is a unique social environment, a new global code of behavior became necessary.

That is why netiquette has appeared.

The most important rule of netiquette is to treat others on the internet as you want them to treat you.

Behaving politely and honestly towards others on the internet is very important.

We should never forget that at the other end of our connection there is a person and that rude comments are as inappropriate via a computer screen as they are in a face -to -face meeting.

When you talk to someone in person, the tone of your voice gives meaning to what you say.

So, to add personality and humor to your messages, use emoticons.

Also, avoid writing emails or messages using all capital letters.

It looks like you're shouting.
