Weekend Horrors
Oh Shit!, Oh No! ..my Good God exclaimed my friend, who by the way is an IT professional and an expert in a niche market. At first thought, it occurred to me that he has had some terrible times coming in, something went very wrong with his work, maybe his job or his family. I suddenly jumped out and asked him - 'Dude, what’s the matter, what went wrong??' to which he replied sighing with the highest of discomfort - 'Dude, weekend's finished and I just remembered, I missed watching this latest english movie, ohh what a waste of weekend' and then I quickly responded ‘Which movie?’ to which he said ‘Ironman 2’ and then with great grief, I sighed too... I think that's what make US different.
Word Talk - A few words in honor of ‘Words’
Please
The word 'Please' was beautifully crafted and chosen to be put in places where the ordinary failed. The common man used to fret to nerves before using this word in the sentence as this would
make the sentence assume an extraordinary level. In today's world, this is a word which needs to rediscover its existence - mostly in the corporate world where is it used in the most mail communication as an uncommon required rule. Sometimes the preposition even laughs at it - 'Please can you... ' and the mail goes on.
Well, moving from the co-corporate world to a more casual world, it appears this word has not had
it enough, in relationships and messaging its used brutally and those who use it do not even give
it the honor of complete introduction e.g.: 'Plz plz plz ...' and it goes on.
Thank You
None the less has somewhat rediscovered its brother being much useful - 'Thanks' to thanks. Indeed so much thanking goes everyday that sometimes a mail without a 'Thanks' would seem like an obvious intruder to the corporate mailing system.
Hi
Hello was the convention and the one born in the English vocabulary but somehow ‘Hi’ crept in and now hello sometimes stresses to find itself as an unfamiliar gesture in the emailing community. Its really amazing as if ‘Hi’ was a secret agent in matrix allowed to creep into any corporate communication without being noticed.
In casual communication ‘Hi’ serves as the known minstrel many a times.
