No, you didn’t “reach out”, you CONTACTED them
Simon:
I'm with eti, returning to live in the UK from Italy after 14 years was quite the culture shock. I never ever use the words "reach out" unless I mean the physical act of doing so.
My take is that it is a race to the top in office jargon used by people aware of how insignificant in a physical sense their work is trying to create more of a physical sounding presence of what they do to increase their value over other seemingly non result producing work. This also expands into how people talk about any non physical yet possibly significant action.
It does get boring after a while.

#1 Er what?
#2 I’m not in America
#3 GOTO 1
What does this have to do with <choose your favourite country>? Corporate dullard talk is a joke, and they don’t even hear themselves doing it. Yes it’s not the sky falling in, and not the end of the world, but it’s an assault on the minds of those hearing it.

Unfortunately it's spreading over here.
Extremist ideas such as critical gender theory are taking over the western world. Only a few years ago, I would have been kicked out of a female changing room and my name might've been added to the sex offenders register, but now I can say I'm a woman, even though I'm blatantly male. I'm free to sit stark bollock naked, in a female changing room, surrounded by some underage girls, if I went during school time.
I was recently triggered by a woman at work, listing her pronouns at the end of an email. It took some restraint not to write a sarcastic response. The sad thing is she's pretty. It's obvious by her name and appearance she's a her. I was disappointed to lean, she's a social justice warrior. :palm: It's odd how some of the more masculine looking women, who could pass for men, if they dressed right, don't feel the need to state their pronouns.

It’s a very sad state of affairs. This is all prophecied in the Bible, it’s no surprise to those who believe in Christ Jesus.
I watched this earlier - I had to to inform myself. I love my American cousins but am blessed not to be subjected to this nonsense:

As far back as the '60s.
Reach out. (I'll be there).
