The next paragraph after the one about e-mail names and dates is going to be about the fact that English has many variations in dialect and style. Style, such as how directly one will tell someone else they are wrong, tends to vary with both gender and culture. I picked names as the initial point only because I knew there were studies on that particular issue, and I want to convince people who start out believing there cannot be any race, gender, ethnicity etc. bias in e-mail-only groups.

Hi, It’s not just dates that give you away :-) People often in email list use terms, while possible known, often have a very different meanings outside of the US. A large number of US corporate, sporting or gambling idioms, would be lost on most people outside the US and possibly be a trigger for subconscious bias, Well I assume I don’t know any studies on this or knowledgeable in this area. A recent example (used on this list) would be “socialize”.
