    Because I'm infected with 'ciao' I often use it in emails when I see that the client is Italian, which I did on an enquiry earlier.

    Said potential client just phoned up to confirm the order and said her name and I'm profoundly confused because she's clearly 110% Indian, haha. I'm guessing she's married an Italian and her forename is one of those that could as well be Indian as European.

    • Lol... I use buongiorno a lot here, but my only connection with Italia is that I own a FiatOBBTKN
    • Haha. Chow mein, bitches!Ianbolton
    • I can't even imagine how pretentious it would sound if someone used 'ciao' in a written email in the USmonospaced

    • ha, i don't disagree - hence the 'infected by', but spend a month or so in the country each year saying it 30 times a day and somehow it begins to make sense...Nairn
    • Unless it’s “Ciao caro! Come stai? Il motivo per cui ti scrivo è...” you should really stop it. Really.maquito
    • 'Really' really? My, that's quite emphatic. You might want to have a word with half of Germany too, in that case Maquito.Nairn
    • Pffft. You might also want to have a word with my boss - he uses ciao all the time and he's a wee former hockey player from Malmö.face_melter
