Relatable!!!.!!!
I don’t know if I have ever used an exclamation point in a work email.
My issue is usually how to phrase asking someone for something, when I am actually commanding them for something.
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 🙂
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…”
How does the initial advice work for guys?
I don’t have accessories, am I supposed to take one shoe off or something??
Integer underflow. You’re supposed to put on 65535 accessories (or 2 billion, depending on your int size)
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‽
The accessory I remove after looking at the mirror is usually myself. I just give up going out. lol
It is a work email. Get rid of all of them.
Mine is deciding whether to start with a “Hi <name>” 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.
