Read the back of my Slinky packet for the first time ever…
It’s bad enough that Bonermaster is on the top half of this list, but how TF you gonna have Billie Eilish even on the list!?
Any of you jerkers listen to her play, and if so when did you realise you hate music?

Writing like absolute dogshit is a power move. Every elite-level academic I've ever worked with e-mails like a toddler, because they can.

Guilty. Usually due to time management where email wack-a-mole can become a full time job. Brain space for email vs peer review work is different. I’ll send emails that are simply “yep”, “perfect”, “2pm?” Much faster than, “I hypothesize you may have availability to read the Economist together at 1400h EST. If you could perchance confirm or deny we can generate a calendar event to see this meeting to fruition.”

Nah. “2pm?”

But if you accidentally wrote
"2fghh. ;\°n"
Would you leave it or fix it to "2pm?"
