How do you say goodbye?

How do you sign off your emails?

Washington Post addresses the modern day quandary of how to say goodbye. In their research, most people sign off with ‘sincerely’ in their professional emails and ‘love’ when writing personal emails. Other sign-offs have their own connotations — ‘best’ can be denounced as frigid or overly warm, ‘cheers’ can seem too british, ‘xoxo’ brings you into Gossip Girls territory, and using acronyms like ‘arlyw’ and ‘s/f’ peg you as military.

For my own emails, I tend to use ‘thanks!’ or a variation thereof.
