Salutation on email..never seen this before

[AnnieW625]

I have never seen that. I am 42 and have worked in government for 20 years. I am also in Junior League with a wide variety of people aged 25 to probably 80 and I have never seen that.

Never seen that, seems really odd to me.

I use it in text to my sisters to make sure they get this is a group text and do not reply back thinking it is a text just between 2 of us. I do it because it has happened before, particularly when I've recently being texting with one in another thread text. My friends would immediately identify it as a group, they would not.

I've never seen it, but after seeing this explanation it makes sense. I think I would probably write "Hey guys" or something along that line vs "Both" if it's a casual thing, but whatever works I guess.

Not commonly, but I've seen it in work situations. If I'm writing something just to my (two) siblings, I'll usually use their names if I'm starting the email, and if I'm replying and intending the message for both of them, I'll usually just start the body of the email without any sort of salutation.

pretty common -- I see it a few times a week in work emails.

Never seen it. Seems weird to me. Reminds me that I despise when non-southern people address others as "Y'all" in conversation or email--mostly because the person saying it is trying to appear congenial or casually say something, but is not genuinely so.

I haven’t seen it but somehow it doesn’t feel weird to me.

I've never seen "Both". Would prefer "All" to "Both."

All is for multiple people
Both is for two
i don’t use it but it is the (??) grammatically (not sure I mean grammatically, maybe syntactically) correct form to use if you would have used ‘all’ if it were multiple people

My sister has never used “Both” in an email before. It’s probably used at her new job. I’m sure it’s quicker to type than the people’s names. I think it’s weird, so I won’t use it, especially in an email to family.
