Thoughts on people saying “please advise”? I’m not a fan but see it very often and for some reason it rubs me the wrong way.

How should we frame our sentences asking for advice then? Pls advise

I hate it when people say “my ask of you is…”. No it’s not. Ask is a verb. A “request” is a noun.

I have started to feel the same way about the term "push back". I hear it at work a bunch and now I'm starting to hear it in everyday conversation.

It feels cultural to me....All my Indian colleagues use the phrase "please advise" but I rarely see folks from other cultures use it. Am I making shit up through speculation or is it a popular business phrase in Indian culture?

Okey dokie = ptsd for me. Had a toxic boss who’d say this when ever I’d stand up for myself after he’d pushed me too far. Now when anyone says it to me I can feel myself get angry

The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!
