No!
Let me change to some less professional tone :
It's a work email. Get rid of all of them!
Me, looking in the mirror while wearing 37 pieces of flair
Hmmm...
Now, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like Kolanak, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile.
All periods. Don't use "!".
For me, the problem is different 🤔 I work in an environment with young people 👶 Young people who speak with emojis 💯 and they expect others to speak with emojis as well 🤝 So when I write a message or a mail 📩 Then I need to figure out which emoji I need to replace the periods with 😅 And the minefield is kinda terrible, since some of the "regular" emojis are considered highly passive agressive 🙂
Thanks a lot. 👍
I use emoji as ponctuation but it is always point (^_^)
This is hilarious to read for me because my mind automatically makes a pause after every emoji, longer than two periods, and it feels like every sentence is very emphasized. But the silence is filled with this not-so-serious emoji. Idk, hard to explain it
it's better to just not. just let them do their thing, and you and i can continue sending actually legible communication.
Mine is changing one "fuck you you spineless amoral bastards" into a "please"
"As per my previous email..."
Sometimes if they don't get it the second time or don't answer what I asked, I send the exact same email again.
I don't send many mails for work, but I do that with slack by sending a link to the first message
I did that to my old boss weekly. This guy was dense.
Hey... everyone... why aren't you talking about the fucking swastika part? What?
Coco Chanel was a Nazi collaborator.
Wait until you hear about L'Oréal nazi.
One per email is all you get!
Not sure why I would use an exclamation mark on a work email
Feigned enthusiasm/friendliness. "Thanks for catching that problem!"
No worries that you fucked things up! If you could just get your shit together, that would be great! Thanks so much for making me have to follow up with you to accomplish the very basics of your job!
Wouldn't want to bother myself
Hey, my enthusiasm is genuine!
Mine is deciding whether to start with a “Hi ” when replying, or just directly responding without a greeting, usually when there’s already been a lot of back and forth or I’m getting annoyed at the person.
When I'm annoyed, the salutation gets dropped. That way they know shit is getting real.
The accessory I remove after looking at the mirror is usually myself. I just give up going out. lol
Pinch your cheeks to remove dead-inside eyes
what if I'm really dead inside?
Sunglasses.
perfect
What are you an accessory to? Murder? On the dance floor?
Me too. High five! (But not like, in person. Because I’m not leaving my house.)
Even the virtual interactions need aome space lol
Electric high five!
The interrobang is back‽
I fukken love me an interrobang. I have a shell alias on my computers that copies one of those bad boys into my clipboard so I can more easily display my shocked puzzlement. It's very useful when dealing with msft products, especially Azure.
On iOS I have it set up as a text replacement. If I type ?! it is replaced by ‽
Android similarly makes it easy. If I just press and hold on ?, I get options for ¿ and ‽. Seems like mobile devices have worked out more convenient UIs for this type of thing.
Wait, my keyboard could type an interrobang all along‽
I always bind compose key to right logo key on Linux. Then I can enter interrobang by pressing right logo, exclamation mark and question mark.
I always have a terminal open in the workspace on my other monitor so it's just interr <super-;>
wait, that makes me sound like an absolute fucking nutcase lol. I typed that first sentence completely unironically and only realized how absurd it was afterwards. It's faster than the whole "type the Unicode point value" thing, but I should probably start using compose key instead.
