If you're lucky enough not to have to plough through pages and pages of emails on a daily basis, then this will probably be alien to you. But it will help you understand our blight. 

There's a certain etiquette involved in the electronic mailing system; however, many's a contact (regardless of their position - boss or intern) is oblivious to this and pick up some bad habits along the way. 

A recent survey by software company Adobe has revealed the 9 most irritating phrase people use in emails - and they're gonna give you the shivers:

9. Re-attaching for convenience (i.e. here ya go ya clown)

8. As discussed... (i.e. you should know this)

7. As previously stated... (i.e. we've already spoken about this ffs)

6. Please advise (i.e. I haven't a clue what to do here)

5. Sorry for the double email (i.e. here's a not-so-subtle reminder)

4. Any updates on this? (i.e. hurry up ta feck)

3. Per our conversation... (same as #7 above)

2. Per my last email... (i.e. you obviously didn't read the last one)

and the biggest pain in the eyeballs...

1. Not sure if you saw my last email... (i.e. you definitely saw it, stop ignoring me!)

So on this morning's Dermot and Dave, the lads put it out to our adoring public to see what grinds their gears via email - and it was pet hate central. 

Things like, 'thanks in advance', 'please revert' and 'just touching base' drive D&D mad and a bit of recording around our own office highlighted even more headaches.

IMHO...people need to start using some real wordage stat!
