Have you no shame? 🤪

That’s pretty silly. You may like to set a higher standard by steering the person toward a better vocabulary. It’s this sheer laziness that causes the propagation of such piffle in language.

There are some things people say that annoys me, but none of it is as annoying as the self appointed language police that rant about it. English is a nearly universal language and there are regional dialects with their own quirks and colloquialisms all over, I don't see what the big deal is.

I didn’t expect you to see, neither will opinion of this daft linguistic subset, alter, based on your views.

You dislike what you broad-brush as “language police”, yet it seems the fact that you want to police thought and opinion, utterly escapes you. I have my views and they’re hardly offensive, so please, if you disagree then okay that’s nice, and a fond farewell I bid you.

Nah, this is the perfect language to use:
"Thank you for reaching out with this job offer, but the Junior Firmware programmer is not an interesting position for me."

I think they just carpet bomb everyone with these code monkey jobs.

A small comment on the topic title here:

"Contact" is not a verb, it's a noun.
Using "contacted them" is WORSE than "reaching out".

Just sayin'.
