Default Do you find some companies really patronising?

I think it's one thing to have a friendly image, but recently I've noticed more and more companies take the approach of being really friendly. Too friendly in my opinion, with really dumbed down language. I'm not 8.

Example:

Quote:
Thank you for your e-mail. We're very busy this time of year, but we'll do our best to get back to you within 48 hours.
Informative, friendly and to the point. Right?

These days, it's more like this:

Quote:
Hey! Thanks for the zippity email. Our team are being all busy and stuffs and running around like headless chickens! Sorry for any chickens reading, no offence! We'll do our very bestest to get back to you but unfortunately it might be a few days. Any hoo! Better get back to work! Cheerio!
I'm sure it's the work of overly camp and fluffy marketers who think the audience are as camp and bubbly as them.

Am I being miserable? Or does anybody else get fed up of all this crap and would just like a straight talking company once in a while?
