Let me know if questions

[Anonymous]

Has anyone else noticed people leaving out words from this sentence? It should be “Let me know if you have questions.” The first time I noticed it I figured it was a mistake, but now I’ve seen it multiple times and from multiple people. What’s the point of leaving out words that are necessary to a sentence? Aside from laziness of course...

Anyone? Are my coworkers the only weird ones?

I've literally never seen that, so I vote your coworkers are weird, or it's just a typo/casualty of speed.

Probably a cut-and-paste error. Or an auto-fill error.

I’ve never seen that, but it drives me nuts when people drop “to be” from expressions. For example, the car needs washed. His shirt needs cleaned.

I probably do it. I type very quickly and my brain sometimes fills in words that aren't there.

This. Or autocorrect removes it if you mistyped part of the word. I’d be surprised if it was intentional.

My boss does this all of the time. I always just assumed it was because he's lazy.

I have a friend who does this all the time in group emails and FB posts. I assume she does it at work too. It’s annoying.

Best stay out of the south then.

I don't think it's grammatically incorrect.

It might be grammatically correct but it makes no sense.
