All in the Comma.
I received an email from a colleague this morning. In it, he was announcing the date for a meeting. In that email, there was this line "please revert your attendance to me, if you are not attending, and state your reason."
I was going to attend the meeting so I figured I needn't reply to the email. Yes, it's probably good manners to reply anyhow but I'm rude ahahah!
Later on in the afternoon, I received an email in which he stated that we have already read the emails but must have been very busy because we have not yet replied to his email.
Although I was feeling like pointing out to him that he only requested for people who are not attending to tell him that they are not attending and their reasons for doing so.... I decided to just tell him a yes or no.
So, with a sentence like "please revert your attendance to me, if you are not attending, and state your reason." do you think he was asking for a reply if you are not attending or a reply either way?
Please leave out the common courtesy parts please lol. I'm uncommon. :D
