More Signs of Assimilation

I sign my emails with “Best Regards” now. And reply to items simply with “Noted” as my only comment to let someone know I got the message. Used to sound so formal and standoffish to me. My other one that really did use to kinda hurt my feelings was when someone would send a “Gentle Reminder” to do something. I know they said gentle, but if you have to say that are you really being gentle? It felt so pushy. Haven’t gotten to the gentle reminder stage of assimilation yet, but maybe someday I will.
