What it does

E-mail takes too long to respond to, resulting in continuous inbox overflow for those who receive a lot of it. Treat all email responses like SMS text messages, using a set number of letters per response. Since it’s too hard to count letters, we count sentences instead. * See also: two.sentenc.es , three.sentenc.es , and four.sentenc.es . ** To begin using this system, optionally copy this text and paste it into your e-mail signature: -------------------------------------------- Q: Why is this email five sentences or less?
