Do you put an 'x' on the end of everything?

I'm having a bit of a reshuffle and so am currently looking for a new cleaner, new term time child care and in talks with some Decorators for the summer.

Every single person I have gotten in touch with for professional purposes has responded to my message with 'x's on the end and used terms of endearment such as 'hun'. When did this become a thing?

Honestly I'm not a grouchy bitch at all and all of my friends and family get inundated with 'x's, terms of endearment and lots of love from me. However, I would never, ever be so unprofessional with someone engaging my services (not that I have any services to offer), an acquaintance or a colleague.

Do you do this? If so why? It then makes me feel like I'm coming across as cold and or stuck up by just signing off with my name, I still don't add any 'x' at the end of my message though.

Why do people do this with strangers? And I know it's not the end of the world or a real problem, I just want to know.

Thank you for reading x
