One of my professors has, in her syllabus for an online class I'm in, a note on email etticate: according to the note, she will respond with a form email requesting that the student rephrase their email if the student's email is abusive, or if it does not include proper opening and closing salutations. Yes, she basically equated not using letter formatting standards in email to verbal abuse.
After sending my first email to her (to point out that the suggested study schedule claims that this semester's exams are happening in the fall), I made sure to include the "Dear Professor X" and "Thank you,\nMy Real Name". Guess what wasn't in her reply.
I wrote a "form letter" requesting that she rephrase her email to follow the etiquette as spelled out in the syllabus, but never sent it.
What have you guys "removed because it was stupid?"
