Your Welcome

I just thanked a colleague for something, and her response was, "Your [sic] welcome."

[sigh...]

Taking a tip from Hyperbole and a Half, I decided to take a different tack from my usual vitriolic indignation and tell myself that she was simply asserting that the 'welcome' to which she was referring in her email was, in fact, simply *mine*.

I imagine a more verbose email (if there weren't this terrible shortage on letters) would be something like this:

"Hello - I would like to present you with this shiny and deserved Welcome. It is your welcome, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise, but be careful as they are apparently quite rare these days.

Best,

[colleague]"

I can now sleep at night.
