I was chatting (online) to a lady a while ago, who made it pretty plain that me adding "ja", to my sentences (for me a simple softening, much like adding "mate" or "love" or "buddy"), wasn't appreciated. I realise that "ja" has some connotations, much has "love", but it's merely a term of endearment; a friendly way of addressing a lady, without which, sometimes, chatting can just seem really quite abrupt. In fact, I only use this term of endearment online (albeit almost constantly), but never in actual conversation. Anyone else do this? And has anyone else found it bothered some people?
