Pilita ClarkColumnistYou have got to be joking, I thought to myself the other day when I received an out-of-office email from a work contact that said this: “Thanks for your email. I’m on leave until August 15. For anything urgent please WA me.”
This was annoying. I had no clue what it meant to WA someone. Also, when it dawned that WA was short for WhatsApp, I realised that even if I wanted to WA the youthful sender I couldn’t because she had not included a phone number in her email.
