Gizmodo: Using Emojis at Work? You’re Not Going to Like This Study 😮. “So, crying-laughing emoji, you’re not going to believe this—but, spiral-eyes emoji, a psychological experiment has found that incorporating emojis into your workplace communiqués might be leading your peers to perceive you as incompetent. But not always: the mercurial purple devil emoji, as always, is in the details.”

@BenUNC oh, I see! I tend to use "please" because written stuff gets misconstrued (as you implied with your reply, thanks).
If I open with "please" I don't overuse it; my tone in the rest carries the scent of that - so I can then be briefer, as you suggested.
Sometimes I forget that tone doesn't carry in text, and sometimes it bites me, and then I remember to think about it more.
Interested in citations about how people react to differently worded pleasantries!
