All sounds less inclusive to me.
Don't we also have to respect everyone's bonkers self-declarations of anything these days or be classed as a bigot?
Today, I'm a bumper-car.
Morning Plastic,Is being less inclusive necessarily a bad thing?
Are you bumper-car-ist?
Who are you trying to specifically exclude?
That's interesting - I've never written a 'letter' in my life - only faxes or e-mails - and I always use my normal informal language no matter who I'm dealing with - starting with 'hi' and ending with 'cheers' - but my auto signature includes what I am - C.Eng etc. so the reader can judge who they're dealing with and at what level to pitch a reply. By appearing immediately friendly / non-threatening, I find it puts people at ease so they settle into a rapport faster than endless fake formality.
