...trickier. Used by professors, recruiters, and parents alike, e-mail has become more formal since the original introduction of @aol.com—although it’s still a great way to communicate with friends abroad, sisters at work, and good-looking strangers that you meet on the subway during the commute to your summer internship and look very normal but could be axe-murderers.
