Had to read it twice to understand why it was here.

I would just assume it was bad autocorrect.

Hmm, I don't do any intro if I remotely know the person. My emails look like this:

Subject: General topic + call to action

Brief introduction to problem, ideally one sentence. A call to action, like getting some info or whatever.

Extra details if needed, which is pretty rare. Two to three sentences max.

Thanks,
my name
relevant other info like title

No intro, that's available in the email header. Just don't put in filler...

Good for you. The tweet is just a joke though.

What’s the change? Looks standard to me.

Hey, what are the odds -- five Ayn Rand fans on the same train! Must be going to a convention.

I'm surprised people still write that in their work email.

Writing a long letter to friends or people you want to work with is one thing, but for routine work email it should be short and to the point, nobody has time to read an essay about wells if your job doesn't involve, well, wells.

I wish it was just skipping filler. I send the office a 2 sentence email and they completely ignore the second sentence then send a snippy email in reply that was part of the 2nd sentence they just didn't bother to read...

I didn't notice

I noticed... I noticed every time.

Also Grammarly OP for inane work shit like that. It's a shame it freaks the fuck out anytime there's more than like five errors found lol.

“Yeah, Kaylene’s always doing weird shit like that to get attention, we mostly just ignore her. She hasn’t caught on yet.”

I'm sending my love down the well.

You can also switch to "I hope this E-Mail fights you well"

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If the email did find them in a well, they’ll ask for help and that’ll just be a whole thing. Better not to send the email in the first place
