Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
Having been on the receiving end of it from two people professionally, wracking my brains over what their problem was, until I learned how they were actually meaning it:
The trailing ellipses feels like it’s ‘politely’ avoiding saying the “obvious” conclusion out loud. And if someones avoiding saying it, it’s probably negative. That’s why it’s seen as passive-aggressive.
To my generation it sounds like, I dunno, saying “Where there’s smoke…”.
Are you in the younger than normal or older than normal generation?
I think im getting older than normal lately.
Ok good to know! I tend to avoid … in work emails because I know it can be taken in different ways, I should probably avoid it in other online posts too…
