Business Pet Peeve
Aug. 17th, 2009 05:00 pmLest there be any confusion on this point, let me be clear: the next time anyone sends me business correspondence which uses "sup" as a greeting, "u" as a pronoun and ends questions about location with "at," I will publish that text for public ridicule.
I have some tolerance for abbreviations in text messages between mobile devices, but none whatsoever for full-length emails, online documentation or written correspondence. We're supposed to be educated professionals in real-world business, not pre-teens playing "The Sims" online with your bffs.
Thank you.
I will now finish my day by practicing yelling at kids to get off my lawn and complaining about how young whippersnappers drive too fast.
