Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Like i guess svp is more like with general requests on like signs and stuff

Like a little bit more dry

[eager tendon]

No it’s just informal

Like any abbreviation

[desert crater]

Oh fr

Well this is an acronym

Not all acronyms are informal i assume

Or does french not do that

it's informal so ig writing a mail to colleagues wont include svp

[eager tendon]

Colleagues is probably fine depending on the colleague

[eager tendon]

Right but this is a texting acronym

[desert crater]

Damn

[eager tendon]

So in this case it isn’t as formal as s’il vous plaît

But outside of texting I would always use the entire thing

[desert crater]

Damn

Ok i see thank you

I see SVP relatively often in emails, capitalized. Lowercase is super informal, SVP is about the equivalent as ASAP in terms of formality

Mostly used for "quick" emails

You can never go wrong with writing it out in full though, so it's a safer choice

Huh interesting

[lean kestrel]

the director of my school is known for writing "svp" all the time
people I've talked to about it find it a bit rude, but no one can say anything because she signs the checks

[desert crater]

Interesting

Thanks

This gives me
