    Angry "Hey...."

    Anyone else noticed a trend for emails (from clients/potential clients) starting with "Hey..." recently?

    And is it just me or do you feel an almost uncontrollable desire to just bin it?

    I don't know why, but this somehow really manages to me off!

    Not really noticed the increase in "Hey" but I have with "Cool", "Mate" and "Bro"

    Ah relax you miserable old sod. I bet if I sent you an email asking for 5 websites, starting with 'Hey Martin' you wouldn't bin it !

    I don't mind it if it's a client who I have exchanged a few emails with. Course now you have started this thread you know what's going to happen .

    I think I'm going to start responding with "Oi..."

    If it's good enough for the Fonz - it's good enough for me!

    I'm pleasantly surprised with most of my enquiry emails - mostly it's 'Dear Martin' and ending 'Kind regards' - the closest to over familiarity I've had is 'Hello Martin'.

    I've noticed the use of "Yo yo!" is a bit up
