For example I’ll send an e-mail with 3 questions and will only get an answer to one of the questions. It’s worse when there are 2 yes/no questions with a question that is obviously not a yes/no question. Then I get a response of

Yes

back in the e-mail. So which question are they answering?

Mainly I’m asking all of you why do people insist on only answering 1 question out of an e-mail where there are multiple? Do people just not read? Are people that lazy? What is going on?

Edit at this point I’ve got the answers . Some are too lazy to actually read. Some admit they get focused on one item and forget to go back. I understand the second group. The first group yeah no excuse there.

Continuing edit: there are comments where people have tried the bullet points and they say it still doesn’t help. I might put the needed questions in red.

    …but some things don’t. “Locate Servia on a map?”

    They can’t even blame that on autocorrect; obviously the text was originally written on a qwerty keyboard though.

    Just as a point of reference, my 8th grade tests were harder than that one (in Canada).

      In 1912, “Servia” was the accepted English spelling. British journalists started using “Serbia” around 1914.
