I have one writing colleague who’s got a kitten playing with a ball of yarn or something. Not only does it make the e-mails way bigger than they need to be, but it’s just plain obnoxious. It’s just shy of the egregiousness of sending e-mail chain letters to your client. Seriously, people, grow up already!

Like you said, Lori, it’s one thing if there’s an established relationship, or if the tone of the conversation dictates that something more casual would work. But unless the client opens the door, you’d better not — and if they fling the door open from the beginning with their “kewl” and “LOL” and “c ya,” think long and hard about how professional they’ll be elsewhere in your dealings.

It’s sad, because while they may be thinking how much nicer it looks, it’s a bit of a pain. The emails open much more slowly (and I’m on a fiber-optic network) and it’s just distracting.
