A senior manager in his e-mail message to a software developer.
In the Doctor Who episode ‘Utopia’, a member of an alien race speaks so that she ends each of her sentences with ‘tho’ /ðɒ/. She considers not using this ending to be extremely rude—or even obscene.
In the manager's message, ‘tho’ is apparently used as an informal contraction of ‘though’.
