People not finding the extra time in their busy days to use salutations in their fackin' e-mails. Is it really that tough to write Hello? Or even Hello____,?
Hi. Hey. What's up? would even work.
Rude ass people.
I've noticed this same trend and it is annoying. I always make sure I have one in all of my e-mails.
... The use of a "Importance: High" exclaimation point in Outlook e-mail for a non- "importance: high" issue...
I never really noticed till now, but now that I think about it I guess I do use salutations. Mine's just a simple "Hi so-and so," every time.
I should use "Dear Sirs," sometime again though, it's been awhile. It just sounds so cosmopolitan and upstanding and shit. Or perhaps even an ill-placed (given the recipient) "WHATUP YO?" in caps to my boss.
I pretty much only include a salutation if I'm initiating the conversation and pretty much never, if it's a reply.
I don't know....maybe that's rude, but even if there's a "Hi, How are you?", I usually know they don't really want me to actually tell them....at work, at least.
