discourse analysis

The things that fascinate me thanks to my cultural anthropology training.

I had emailed my credit union regarding my future travels (if I don't clear it with them in advance, my debit card is blocked).

This is the reply I received:
[insert my first name here]..
I have noted your account. Have fun!
Stacie

Fascinating in so many ways. The familiarity, the lack of honorific, the exclamatory.

Yes, Oregonians are friendly, I am called to remember. But just in a different way.
