Today I was working on a feature where email is involved. At some point, I stopped and asked myself: how should I write it —
email or e-mail? Until today, I had been diligently using the form e-mail, but I started to notice that I might be the only one paying such close attention to this detail.🔍 Finding clarity
After some searching I found this nice resource from Google: https://developers.google.com/style
It's a styleguide for writing tech docs by developers for developers. Super clear and simple. No need to invent your own rules, just follow the good defaults. Less cognitive load.
This Google styleguide is worth checking out for anyone who writes docs or error messages in products. It’s simple, consistent, and helps your future self.
✍️ My choice
I’ll stick to email. Saves a dash! I plan to win about an hour of my life over the years just by typing faster and thinking less about it.
