Applause for this topic and these suggestions. It seems to me that taking care and spending a few extra seconds when replying to messages requires some of the skills that make a good caller: consideration for your audience, attention to detail, careful and deliberate choices. By the same token, an occasional lapse is always forgiven graciously since we all make mistakes.
