can't believe we're at almost a decade of calling people disgusting savages for having harmless quirks of speech or manner

excessive hyperbole is the ultimate act of disgusting savagery

This is why I don’t run in public, unless to a bus I’m scared to miss.

That’s all of them! I live bang in the centre of Z1 and the only healthy activity I aspire to in public is walking some kind of sighthound. Runners-up in self-important fitness assholism are Lincoln’s Inn legal types with early-morning personal trainer appointments in the Fields.

One of my first jobs my boss signed his emails simply 'Best' then his name. I thought he couldn't decide whether to say 'regards', 'wishes' etc.
― kinder, Monday, 13 January 2020 22:23 (four years ago) link
maybe he was saying he was the Best Jeff out of all Jeffs or something
― papa stank (Neanderthal), Monday, 13 January 2020 22:32 (four years ago) link
Yeah I considered that too!Best,kinder

william shatner used to sign all of his tweets "my best, bill", sometimes shortening it to "MBB"

I like 'Best' as a sign-off

i am a 'Best' user too. its okay. definitely un-savage.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 16:35 (four years ago) link
i switched from 'best regards' to 'cheers' like 18 months ago and it's been lifechanging tbh
― que pasa picasso (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 16:39 (four years ago) link
I don't like 'cheers', I tolerate it as a blood sausage jolly good wut wut thing from olde Britaine but from anyone else it's even more of an eye roll

I've gotten where I sign emails with either just my first name (without a hyphen), or a hyphen and first initial (sometimes lower-case).

I think we need to return to elaborate 19th century signoffs. Wouldn't getting an email that ended with "I Remain, Your Stalwart And Loyal Friend" or whatever brighten up your day?
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:02 (four years ago) link
the misplaced comma would dampen it a little
― mark s, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:03 (four years ago) link
Misplaced by contemporary standards, but when you see a letter in a novel by Dickens or Trollope or whoever, that's exactly how it's written. So you gotta go with it, for full accuracy.

dickens definitely liked underlining his name too often, and i'm not claiming no literary figure in the 19th century ever mistakenby used a single comma to cut subject off from verb, but the correct form was this: i: "I Remain Your Stalwart And Loyal Friend, Grawlix Unperson ii: (or possibly, occasionally and ornately) "I Remain, As God Is My My Witness, Your Stalwart And Loyal Friend, Grawlix Unperson
― mark s, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:37 (four years ago) link
If Dickens used a fountain pen it’s totally excusable imo

Many xposts but I don't actually mind 'best', I was just thrown by it first time.

the only people who have said cheers to me have been Britons .or people who have been about to glass me.

All this agita around sign offs is just a veil for our collective misanthropy
― calstars, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 21:53 (four years ago) link
A long time ago I worked for a British literary agent who varied her sign-offs from ‘yours sincerely’ to ‘best wishes’ to ‘love’ depending on the mood she was in with the recipient. British publishing is full of people micro-analysing written interaction, obviously. We took dictation of the letters and when we got to signing off, she’d mention that someone accustomed to ‘love’ was getting ‘yours sincerely’ that day and our reactions were oooOOOooo.
