Stop Using Love in E-Mail...

Anyone else find it weird to use the word love in email? I keep seeing people use it in email along the lines of "I would love to find time to talk...". It just strikes me as odd - why not use something like "I would appreciate the opportunity to have a call to learn more about your experience and day-to-day, etc..". I think it's one of those words people use without giving much thought to. Makes me cringe each and every time...

Love,

Are you so afraid of commitment that even hearing the word "love" in an email triggers you?

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
