Uffizi gallery director Schmidt lays down email rules in Italy

After seven years running Italy's flagship museum the Uffizi, its director has clearly had enough of inappropriate punctuation.

Eike Schmidt has laid out his rules for email etiquette in a message to staff.

Bold characters are out, although underlining is still acceptable where suitable for words or salient phrases.

"You should also avoid whole sentences in capitals," Mr Schmidt says.

He's gotten me thinking. HERE ON THE COFFEE SHOP WE HAVE NO SUCH RULES!!! But we have had guidlines and they have made sense over years and remain so ... I'm not going to repeat them here.  I have taken a look back (to ((here)) from 14 years ago) and the guide written there remains - in my view - valid and current.  Member's views and suggestions on updates very welcome, though

A big thank you to all our members who sensibly script their messages and help make the activity of reading, and being a moderator, here such a pleasure. I'm glad I don't run a gallery in Italy :-).

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
