Over the years I've been able to reduce my sorries by 50% ~ 75% by making a conscious effort.
I've also taught myself how to stop signing off emails with "Thanks," when I'm not expressing gratitude.
- consumer451 3y agoI would love to get out of that habit as well. What are you signing your emails with in those cases? Just: - Name ?
- unsupp0rted 3y agoExactly. Just dash and name, except where I've made a request that they might choose to not honor, in which case I do sign off with "Thanks," My family member's mother in law writes emails like: "Dear X, I hope this letter finds you well... warmest regards" She will never be convinced not to.
- post-it 3y agoI'm partial to "Cheers"
- unsupp0rted 3y agoI used Cheers for a few years but I found it’s sometimes awkward for North Americans. They associate it with alcohol toasts more than a polite sign-off. They understand it’s a polite sign-off conceptually, but in the back of my mind I wondered if it rubs North Americans the wrong way subconsciously.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoIts definitely off-putting if what comes before it is in any way "douschey" or arrogant.
- plasma_beam 3y agoI ended the ‘Thanks’ train also. My signature now just says ‘Regards, my name’. One for the other I suppose :)
- NeoTar 3y ago'Regards' -> Normal Interaction, 'Kind Regards' -> You've done something to annoy me, 'Kindest Regards' -> You've really pissed me off!
