I work with the military and while I think nonsense writing like that in the article would be stopped in its tracks, I get annoyed at how many people conclude their e-mails with "V/R" for "Very repectfully."

What's so difficult about typing the words "Very respectfully?"

You can even set it in your auto-signature.

"Brgds" for "Best regards" bugs me, too.

OK, I'm done venting one of my pet peeves. :)

In my view, V/R should be replaced with “respectfully” and “very respectfully” should always be spelled out. Most emails that I receive that end with V/R have some trivial topic and are not being sent to upper management or have some other reason to have a very respectfully close.
