Etiquette – what exactly is it? Etiquette is a set of unwritten rules that guide people in certain social situations. These guidelines for “good etiquette” can differ depending on cultural expectations, as well as where the exchange takes place, and with whom. You may be following “good etiquette” and not even realize it. Common rules include saying please and thank you, not talking with your mouth full, not inquiring about personal matters (unless you know the person) and keeping eye contact when conversing.

Etiquette - what exactly is it?
Etiquette is a set of unwritten rules that guide people in certain social situations. These guidelines for “good etiquette” can differ depending on cultural expectations, as well as where the exchange takes place, and with whom. You may be following “good etiquette” and not even realize it. Common rules include saying please and thank you, not talking with your mouth full, not inquiring about personal matters (unless you know the person) and keeping eye contact when conversing.
According to DataReportal’s Digital 2020 report, the average internet user spends 6 hours and 43 minutes online a day, equating to 100 days per year. Whether we are shopping online, writing a report, or commenting on a Facebook post, there is no denying that we spend a massive amount of our time communicating online. 
As this progression to online communication takes place, the widely accepted etiquette for in-person interaction cannot be applied to online spaces.
So, is there etiquette for online communication? Yes, but it is ever evolving. It’s referred to as “netiquette.”
What is netiquette?

When you first go on social media, you quickly learn things that you never knew and never would have known about people. This is because when people are face-to-face, there are things that they don’t share. There is this phenomenon and communication we call disinhibition. When we go online, we are dis-inhibited. We lose all our inhibitions about sharing extremely private information. We share everything we are comfortable with, and we are comfortable with everything, and sometimes it is incredibly inappropriate. This can lead people to lose their jobs and relationships.
