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.

hahaha... yeah, I know I love playing around with grammar in places like LJ and the like but it really does drive me up the wall when it comes to workplace email being so poorly written.
