DJI Christmas Email sortof bothered me.

[gixxerbill]

I mean I understand that most dji employees are probably Buddhist or atheist which is fine. But if you are going to be sending out a Merry Christmas card have the good taste to spell out Merry Christmas not use the dang X. They spelled it that way 4 times for the email. Then the greeting was weird again or at least it was to me..."Dear Creator" wth?

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year from DJI

Dji doesn't want to offend the Jews

 

[gixxerbill]

Let's face it it's Dji staffed by Chinese people that take months to wander e mails

Xmas, which has been in usage in the U.S. for decades, bothers you, but using the holiday for a commercial solicitation for sales does not?

There are more important things in the world to get upset about.

I just laughed. At least they tried.

There is a long history of of using X. "X means Christ". The first letter of the Greek name for Christ (Christos) is translated into our alphabet as an "X". The Greeks had no "X" in their alphabet at that time.
There is no disrespect.
It seems the Chinese actually got it right.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize DJI had sent jihadis out murdering people.

And yes it did upset me. I spent $1200 with them. why can't they take the extra millisecond and spell out Christmas?

So what? You gave them $1200, they gave you their product. That's all they owe you.

So, it doesn't 'sortof' bother you, it actually actively bothers you

this reminds me a little of the GS guys that lose their mind because the fuel gauge on their bikes doesn't always go all the way up to the top
