So I am here going over some workfiles from a superior (instead of being somewhere else on this Memorial Day, like the rest of America), and I am reading thru some of their email and fax correspondence trying to figure out names and addresses of some clients, when I noticed these two grown men are finishing their letters with "Sincerely Yours, Harley". And it came to me, what the hell are Harley and Greg, two grown heterosexual men, telling each other that with all sincerity they are the other's? I mean, we are supposed to be polite, but whats up with that? I am afraid of turning to the next letter and it starting: "Take me, Now." . What happened to more realistic: "At your service", or perhaps "Take care", "Talk to you later", "See you golfing", "Bling-Bling! Bitch!", etc. etc.
Maybe because I am an import, and even though Ive known English all my life, and it was taught to me as well that "Sincerely Yours" is a way of ending a letter (But hell no was I going to finish a letter that way to a guy-friend)... but I refuse to use it.
Sinceramente Tuyo,
crooked.
