In the strange workplace in which (through a kink
in History) I currently find myself,
the commonest sign-off is not “Sincerely yours”,
but:
V/R
In origin, this is military; and stands for “Very respectfully”.
Now I have never served in the military, yet have
adopted this as my signoff of choice:
partly out of respect for those who have so served;
partly out of puckishness, because it’s mysterious
and cool;
and partly because, in the back of my mind, it stands for
Victoria
Regina
All hail, noble Queen !!
