Professional
Sometimes it is hard to sound professional.
Would you like me to send it to you via e-mail or snail mail? (I regularly wish more people understood the British "send it by post.")
And what is your zip? (Everywhere else, it is called the "postal code"… ever so much more dignified sounding than a word that reminds us of a moped weaving through traffic or the sound a pair of trousers makes.)
Perhaps you would like to read about it on the organization's blog. (How come "blog" must rhyme with frog, bog, log, dog, hog, and grog? How can anything respectable be described by a word that sounds like a rotten log giving one last gurgle before sinking into oblivion to the bottom of a bog?)
It is available for purchase on the webstore. (Perhaps the place where spiders go when remodeling?)
Would you like to leave a voice mail? (Does that even make sense?)
You could subscribe to the eZine. (Right after you subscribe to the dZine, but before you sign up for the fZine?)
Yes, sometimes it seems we start at a disadvantage in portraying a polished, no nonsense exterior.
Just ask the yellow and blue flowered teddy bear sitting on my desk.
