That sucks, sorry. Here's hoping finding a new school is easier this time around.

I have had Pero and Postum before, like the Pero better than the Postum. But hte Postum coffee flavor is better than the wheat & barley flavor. All of those are instant. The chicory I have is ground, not instant.
And I brew the Chicory weak, because when I went stronger it almost took the teeth out of my mouth
Okay, only you know anything, apparently. I moved no goalposts, and simply made a comment about how others have different preferences. Apparently, you're the arbiter of what others may or may not prefer.
If I've read some of your posts correctly, I suspect you're in the group whose style prefers more in-depth information (and usually less opinion) in communications.
Have you ever tried out cold brew? It's my understanding that it is less acidic.
I grew up on the wheat and barley flavor, and don't mind it. But it sounds like I should try out the coffee flavor.
I suspect I won't have much luck for a few more months. My inclination is to go back and try a YMCA again - it was easiest to find students there. They seem much more interested in kids' classes, though, and I'm not much interested in teaching those. In any case, that's not even an option for now. And since I would be teaching only non-contact classes for now, I don't see much sense in trying to start yet.
What does Hobbit say to that?

Not at all. A lot of people are really good business writers and very effective at writing emails. I'm not sure whether you're one of them or not, but you're sure throwing out some red flags.
If you consider it a matter of preference, you can't get better. But if you won't take my word for it, any decent business writing course will tell you the same.
There are many things that actually are a matter of preference. Things like one space or two after a full stop, or bullets vs tables. But there are many things that are not, like basic email formatting, use of active vs passive voice, plain language, avoiding buzzwords. If you honestly don't know preference/style vs best practices, you need to consider listening and not arguing.

No, not a fan of cold brew. And if I never had reflux, I would not have craved coffee, I'm mostly a tea drinker

I did not mind the wheat and barley either, I liked the coffee flavor better

wait. Hold on. You think opinion vs fact is a matter of style?
She didn’t like it much. To me, it has the coffee flavor found in coffee candy - much too smooth for a morning cup for me, but very nice for an afternoon cold coffee.
You’re entirely missing the point. And as you have made a practice, you responded to me contentiously, rather than with any effort to understand my meaning. Don’t think tou actually bother to fully read my posts any more - just respond when you find something you can disagree with.
That, by the way, is a poor communication habit - in business and out.
Not at all what I said. Again, you’re looking for an argument.
