[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did a google search on this topic and found this space. To say ‘I will get back you at my earliest convenience’ isnt appropriate and can be taken as rude. The original way the phrase was always used was to say ‘Please get back to me at YOUR earliest convenience.’ That is a polite way to say that you are looking forward to hearing from you but dont want to be pushy. The more people use this wrong, the more it will become acceptable. It will forever come off as impolite to my ears.[/quote] Yes- it's more of the ignorant people trying to sound smart but they are too stupid to figure out how words work and they get it wrong. Like misusing "myself" and "yourself" And yes, I also fear that this will become the norms in speech. Good thread bump. [/quote]
