Business Pet Peeve

[bjarvis]

Lest 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.

mockery and ridicule is a faaabulous idea, and I would applaud such actions.

(go on, tell us what provoked this post. you know you want to)

could you also move to squelch the creeping use of "to go" as a substitute for the verb "to say" ?

I would applaud that too.
