None of my younger friends/family have complained. However folks prefer to sign off on emails is fine with me. If I don’t understand it, my fingers will do the Googling. 🤣😁

Hmmmm, ugh. I thought I was being nice and polite. I seemed to have missed the boat,but I do live in the part of the U.S. where if you are not saying yes man, no sir, then you are getting the side eye.

"regards" is for when I hate them like white hot fire. I'm not explicitly saying what kind of regards they are, it's implied. but I don't expect or want anyone to know what my personal taxonomy means, it's just fun for me to know.]]> In reply to Christine.

I’m absolutely full of loathing but that’s not why I use Best 😆

I use “Best,” if I don’t have a problem with them.

“regards” is for when I hate them like white hot fire. I’m not explicitly saying what kind of regards they are, it’s implied. but I don’t expect or want anyone to know what my personal taxonomy means, it’s just fun for me to know.

But this post has inspired me to adopt more of Gen Z vibe when allowable!

Also, I may be a minority, but I would be thrilled to receive emails in which I was addressed as Dear Sir/Madam, both, even though I am indeed cis gender woman. Please call me Sir.

I love “there’s nothing passive in my aggression”!! So, so much. And really, how is a period harsh? Soon there will be no punctuation, and no one will understand anything anyone says.

Well, hello fellow two spaces after a period! I thought I was floundering alone in the vast deeps. They will take my second space over my cold, dead, body.

Bless your heart is a lovely phrase- it can be sincere and caring, and then… well, not so much. 🙂
