Just wanted to drop a reminder on something I've noticed.
Occasionally, something happens that an 'e' member considers warnable or maybe it's on a team with no eG's or eGO's. Usually bad language - cuss, swear, whatever.
So, sometimes - not all the time - I hear or see this:
"Language."
or
"Watch your language."
...via voice or text, of course. Personally, I'm all in favor of 'e' members reminding/asking people to abide by eGO rules. (I've asked a question about this in Admin Trainers for those eG and above.)
But, if you are going to ask/remind/warn, please remember to do so consistent with how eGO wants to present itself: maturely and professionally.
1. Identify the person, by name. (They might not realize it's meant for them!)
2. Use a complete sentence. (The whole subject-verb thing.)
3. Say "Please." (Better to ask nicely!)
e.g.
"Scrappy, please watch your language."
"Please do not swear, Scrappy."
*Insert standard disclaimer: I am not an eGO nor member of leadership. These are just my three cents.
