I've just noticed that when I sign off to the undergrads I'm working with I write "have a relaxing weekend" and when I sign off with the PhDs I write "have a productive weekend" and argh I'm just reinforcing the system

In which, as usual, prosody does almost all the indexical and semantic work at the same time and the lexical content is just along for the ride
