I really love the MoodWatch feature in my Eudora client. That oh so cool slightly melting ice cube that typifies my normal email correspondence to my Chinese counter parts.
I love typing
"Dear Digitizing Staff,
Please go ahead with this order for Sew Unique. Please set up for left chest at 2.4" wide on pique polo. Please send in DST and EXP format. Please send a JPG scan of sewout sample. Fuck you.
My oh so cool slightly melting ice cube turns into two hot New Mexican ristra chiles.
If I were a Chinese digitizer for Mainland Headwear, Ltd., I would much prefer two hot New Mexican ristra chiles to an oh so cool slightly melting Minnesotan Ice Cube. I've never sent those two hot New Mexican ristra chiles because my Chinese counterparts write in extremely formal British style English with bad spelling and punctuation. I worry they would be offended, even though the flavor would be far superior.
But I do dream.
