Why do people type “am” instead of “I’m”? For example: “Am going to the bathroom.”

The ‘I’ is implied.

It’s just an informal style of writing that has become popular in email, texts etc

I don’t buy it. If you’re using shorthand you don’t even need the Am. Just say “going to the bathroom.”

You think that's annoying, I've got a co-worker who writes "his" every time she means "he's". Like "his going to the store"

And she's a native English speaker

Or says “supposably” instead of “supposedly”

Imagine the good doctor saying “I’m A sUrGeon” in stead of I AM a Surgeon

'I'm' is always used in conjunction with a noun phrase. You cannot write "A human, I'm", but you can write "A human, I am". 'I'm' may also be considered informal outside speech or a literary scope.

'I am' is also longer to pronounce, and therefore has more emphasis

The one that’s been driving me nuts recently is when people say “Request you do X.” or “Recommend we do Y.” instead of something like “Could you please do X?” or “Let’s do Y.” I don’t know why but something about the bare minimum language really sets me on edge.

I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

Former consultant who moved to Industry here.

I have a much older coworker (peer), who is downright nasty to the consultants in my area. I absolutely hate the way he talks down to them.

As coworkers he is fantastic with me and has worked with and is family friends with my boss for over 20 years and I know for a fact nothing will come out of a convo with either of them.

He is an amazing guy personally. This is just his work style. How do I help him become less confrontational with the team?
