Anybody knows what’s the deal with the term “a gentle reminder”? Seriously, where’s the “gentle” in the reminder? Somebody show me ‘cos I don’t see it. It’s one of those oft-used terms in work correspondence which leaves me baffled sometimes. Same goes for “subtle reminder”. Like what’s so subtle about this reminder?
As you can see, I’m in one of my moods. PMT. Stay outta my way!
