Jambomo Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 People e-mailing who have added their pronouns to their e-mail signatures. Why? Why do I need this information? I have your name from the e-mail so if/when I reply, that’s what I am going to use. I am not going to start talking about you to anyone else and if I did, I’d use your name. The name you just gave me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I however prefer to think it came about so you could use their correct pronouns when talking behind their backs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just not sure why it’s relevant in an e-mail which is from people I will never meet or talk about in that context. I should have added that the e-mails were from a national group that send out info about work related stuff. Not anyone I am ever likely to meet! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
