One Question Mark Per Email
January 29, 2020Only have one question mark in your email if you need it to be answered quickly.
I’ve found that if I ask two questions in an email, typically only one will get answered. However, if I list out multiple questions, then each one tends to get answered. It seems to be a pattern, though it might be worth studying scientifically. For now, this is what I’ve observed: using bullet points or dashes to list out questions works better. Otherwise, if you include questions in a paragraph format, the second question often gets overlooked.
