Ey sugar-tits, what's occurring?

My old boss used to refer to everyone as sugar-tits.

Am I the only one who accidentally types 'kind retards' from time to time?

Half the time in my company it's a short message in the subject line if it comes over on email. Google chat gets used a bit for official stuff, Skype for unofficial stuff

I always use Hi, although I've started addressing my boss as D.

Hi doesn't work so well when it's lets say a challenging email over costs etc which is very likely to get the receivers back up because no doubt they won't be repling starting with a Hi.

On an semi-related note, has anyone else noticed that smileys suddenly appeared to become acceptable in external emails about six months ago?

From nowhere I started getting emails with them in from clients; it's almost like someone flicked a switch and made it so.

Yes! I always assume the sender is being friendly, maybe over-friendly, but it's a worry when the sender is a bloke...

Guilty! There should be a spell check clever enough to spot that one, and other 'words' where keys are close which mean very different things.

...although I tend to use 'Best regards' rather than 'Kind regards'.

There is, it lives behind your eyes. Spell checking is pretty much just that, I don't think there are any that check if a correctly spelled, but contextually incorrectly used word is employed. Anyway, who doesn't love a malapropism here and there?

Yeah, fair enough. I just don't always read everything before it's sent.
