This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I remember being encouraged to write like this in school. It's so dumb though. By the time I've read all the fluff I don't even remember the topic. Why should I subject anyone else to this. Does the teacher really want to read this meaningless drivel 20-30 times?

I once received a verbal warning at work because my emails were too brief.

I have since moved to Spain where the email style is more brief and to the point. It is much better.

I think I once saw an email of a professor in response to a student's question that looked something like this:

Dear [student name],

No.

Regards.

That professor achieved the perfection which we should all aspire to.

I have selected Faresh's professor from the candidates. His email was....efficient.
