I know it's passive aggressive, but it's such a great tool for sarcasm and some people are just asking for it and it looks nice.

Minnie I have been known to use it in the odd work email with people I know really, really well, when they need a laugh.

I love it and have started using it in emails at work Blush everyone thinks I'm mad

Popbiscuit · 20/10/2011 21:54

Sometimes I think in strikethrough. Is that weird?

Can you strikethrough a whole sentence, rather than on a word by word basis as that takes ages?

bibbitybobbitybloodyaxe · 20/10/2011 22:10

It is very much overused atm.

Less is more etc.

PointyBlackHat · 20/10/2011 22:12

bibbity I do agree that less is more. Except on this thread where more is more. And more. And more

Mwahaha.

ScaredKitty I strike through whole sentences regularly. As long as you don't leave a space between the -- and the first letter of the sentence, and also no space between the last letter of the sentence, it works.
Like this sentence, which I have definitely not done one word at a time because I am too lazy

Euphemia I will follow your link tomorrow because I am off to bed. I know, what about MN etiquette, how dare I start a thread and then slope off to sleep, but there it is.

Goodnight Sleep tight.

Minnie I use Outlook at work which is edited in Word, so strikethrough is a font option (you don't even have to use hyphens).
