We read this article today, titled "How to Write the Perfect Email According to Experts" by Rachel E. Greenspan, as published on Time Magazine's website on Nov. 1, 2018:

Based on the article, we shared experiences and stories about email writing, as well as the difference between Miss (for young girls), Ms (a neutral label good for all women in the professional world), and Mrs. (usually used for your friends' moms who are married).
As we read through the article, we discovered 11 (eleven) vocabulary words that were new, or confusing for us. I will list them below, and WE WILL HAVE A QUIZ ON THEM NEXT WEEK, IN ADDITION TO A FILL IN THE GAP EMAIL.
If you are unsure of what a word means and in which context to use them, please refer to our favorite dictionary, The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Online at this website: www.ldoceonline.com
