Trouble

Apparently I am. Just got an email beginning with "hello trouble". As a term of endearment (?) I would really prefer dear, sweetheart, friend or similar. Just FYI.

Guess this is language related. In my mother tongue we would never really use these terms, they sound a bit silly translated. We would address with first name. As supposed to here in Switzerland where everything is Frau this and Herr that, or Madame or Monsieur in the French speaking part.

It's like signing off an email in English to a friend saying "lots of love" meaning I love you in a friend type of way. In my language that would sound plain ridiculous. Not that you wouldn't mean it, but still.

Anyway, just different I suppose.
