“E-Mails” or “E-Mail Messages”?
Thursday, January 30th, 2003Why do we say “I received several e-mails today?” We don’t say “I received several mails today,” we say “I received several pieces of mail today.” Personally I prefer “e-mail messages” over “e-mails.” Where is a copy of the Chicago Manual of Style when you need one?
Update: Oh never mind, I found the proper usage over here (do a search on e-mail).
