I work for a big company with loads of departments in India. The people who work there have daily contact with us from Europe and US.

You'd think they would copy the lingo after talking to british and american people. But no.

I can read long formal email threads between executives, customers and in other professional settings. Then in the middle of it all you see someone writing "nt" instead of "not", "k" instead of "ok", "wlcm" instead of "welcome". So it's hard to take this "dear"-business seriously when they mix it with some kind of SMS language between friends.

Haha, nah, I don't think so.

When they really, really need help with something they always write it on the Internal chat system or in a private email.

A couple of times I have seen them start with: "Hello dear *my surname* sir" and different variations of that.

Kinda entertaining. But it gets a bit awkward when customers or higher ups in the food chain are in the conversation and everybody keeps a formal, short and informative tone. Then someone from India jumps in with the "hi wht happen cnt do anything in this system cx is nt online". For some reason 50% of them writes "cx" instead of "customer".

It's like if there is that one obligatory indian to pop in every conversation haha

But, but, it's all about quantity and saving money over quality.
 
Dear sir, I will deliver the work soon. Till then please let the other person know that you don't like being called a dear. Is that ok, dear sir?

I understand that, but I'm a man. If you're also a man, and it's unknown as to whether or not we play for the same team, so to speak, then you should not be calling me that.

homophob detected.
 
same
though i even get uncomfortable when ppl say "Dear xxx" at the head of emails, so probably a bit too extreme. but seriously, can't they just say something like "hello xxx"
 
I love when people do that, use prefixes like dear,sir and so on. I know they don't know the language very well, but at least they are trying to be as polite as possible
