I get it a lot in unsolicited requests and workplace emails. Perhaps as a misguided effort to be more professional. Or a subconscious realization of the topic of the article.
An example of an email I got just today:
Hi <mr-ron>,
Saw your company's ad on a taxi yesterday, checked out your product,
and was wondering who you are using for colocation.
Regards,
<person i will not be responding to>
- GrinningFool 12y agoReally odd. It's always seemed to me that "like", "um", and "uh" were often used as filler words to 'distance' yourself from the thing being discussed. This seems even further in that direction - instead of distancing the author, it removes him entirely from the discussion.
