As I am becoming a grumpy old man, I find myself getting more annoyed than is necessary with the various ways people end work emails
Examples today include
Kind Regards (I saw you by the water cooler 3 minutes ago, no need to give me your regards)
Kindest Regards (like kind regards, but betterer)
KR (lazy)
Best Regards (what does this actually mean)
BR (Lazy)
Regards (?)
Rgds (lazy)
I tend to just write my name, perhaps with 'Thanks' if I am feeling appreciative.
What is the collective opinion here?
I end mine with;

Whatever you like.
Most people don't care.
Cheers or Best Wishes
Oh and why is it whenever anyone comes on to have a grump about the way other people write they always make some karmic error?
Regards, Best or Cheers for me, depending on who the email is to.

Good heavens man...one must use one's title.
Where would one be without standards
Well, I'm not holding a glass aloft at the end of my other emails, but in general I mean that I wish them well and hope they're getting on OK.
Don't let pedantry get in the way of semantics.
Cheers or Regards usually, Mvh sometimes.
Depends on the recipient.
Missing you already!

Someone on Twitter observed that when it changes from "Best Regards" to "Regards", you know they're just about to lose it.
WTF?
Med vennlig hilsen (With friendly regards) 😀
For work stuff I use "love and kisses", if it's personal I just use "BR".

Also what do you start emails with? Hi, Hello, Dear?
Get a lot of emails from our continental cousins written in perfect English with a cheery wiedersehen or salut or ciao on the end so I do the same it makes me seem more cosmopolitan

Thanks For Yours
Don't like e-mails.
Usually finish correspondence with 'Please don't eat this pigeon'.
may the seed of your loin be ever fruitful in the belly of your woman, you bastard
"Regards, Grunkalunka".
It leaves you with the option for the best sign-off ever - "Retards," which you can then claim was an innocent typo.
Cool, Swedish?
Norwegian. Work in Oslo so use it occasionally.
Danish: hilsen fra
French: @+
English: whatever ...

Cheers / regards sometimes, depending on context, but usually I just end with my initial and a full stop. It appears to be catching on, I've noticed a few people at work doing it now.
Cheers,
A.
I'm with the Mvh crowd too unless it's A+ if I want to be a show off.
