a. There are Ten rules of Netiquette that everyone who goes online should follow. You should remember 

them every time you go online. Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online. You need to 

remember that you are talking to a real person when you are online. Remember this saying when sending 

an email:  Would I say this to the person’s face. 

b. You need to behave the same way online that you do in real life. You need to remember that you can 

get caught doing things you should not be doing online just like you can in real life. You are still talking 

to a real person with feelings even though you can’t see them. 

c. Remember people have other things to do besides read your email.  You are not the center of their 

world. Keep your post and emails to a minimum by saying what you want to say. Remember everyone 

won’t answer your questions.

d. Remember always to check your spelling and grammar before posting. Always be  what you are talking 

about and make sense saying it. Be polite and pleasant to everyone. 

e. Do not read other people’s mail without their permission. Going through other people’s things could cost 

you your job or you could even go to jail. Not respecting other people’s privacy is bad Netiquette. 

f. Do not take advantage of other people just because you have more knowledge or power than them. Treat 

others as you would want them to treat you if the roles were reversed. Do not point out mistakes to people 

online. Remember that you were once the new kid on the block. You still need to have good manners even 

though you are online and can not see the person face to face. 

Read the statements and decide whether they are true (T), false (F), not given (NG).
