How appropriate is to use 'Nice to e-meet you'
I work in a software organization so email conversations are frequent. Recently one client e-mailed me with "Nice to e-meet you". I want to know how appropriate is it to use 'Nice to e-meet you'. Is it formal English or not? Can I use it in conversation with potential clients?
Solution 1:
It seems to me to be merely a humorous and friendly twist on the conventional formula "Nice to meet you". It sounds quite harmless to me.
However, I don't think you could use it in face-to-face conversation, because it depends on email communication for a context that gives it relevance.
