I go out of my way to avoid banal phrases in my emails.
- legohead 8y agoNo kidding.. their demo gifs look like an April Fools joke to me.
- rahilb 8y agoBanal pleasantries cost nothing (less than nothing with this new feature), and at worst are ignored and at best make the receiver feel better about you and the important text that follows.
- aserafini 8y agoThey can have a cost if they dilute the core intent or message of the email: the reader has a higher cognitive overhead before understanding how to reply or what action to take. I spend a lot effort stripping out fluff and filler fron my mails, as a courtesy to the recipient!
- chimprich 8y agoI was thinking this might actually be a useful feature for me - if Google suggests an autocompleted phrase I was about to use, I could think of a better, more interesting alternative.
