I remember being encouraged to write like this in school. It's so dumb though. By the time I've read all the fluff I don't even remember the topic. Why should I subject anyone else to this. Does the teacher really want to read this meaningless drivel 20-30 times?
I once received a verbal warning at work because my emails were too brief.
I have since moved to Spain where the email style is more brief and to the point. It is much better.
I think I once saw an email of a professor in response to a student's question that looked something like this:
Dear [student name],
No.
Regards.
That professor achieved the perfection which we should all aspire to.
I have selected Faresh's professor from the candidates. His email was....efficient.
As it should be, I figure. My work emails are pretty funny. Everyone follows standard letter format, but the main part is so short and minimal that it feels dumb to have used the proper greetings and closing format.
At some point during uni with these kinds of texts, I just figured the teacher liked boring herself
