Hi,Gege.
I would like to ask when to use Hi and when only recipient's name.
e.g.
My email
Hi,Boss.
I think this task should be done this way (and all other stuff.)
Regards,
XYZ.

Boss's reply
XYZ,
I think your are right,please go ahead and (Boss asked some other queries which I(XYZ) have to reply in this mail chain only)
Regards,
BOss.

My question is should I start my reply with Hi,Boss. or only Boss's name as he did while replying my mail.

2010-09-21T05:34:44.720-07:00

"BUT, this requires more analysis. The second thing we need to look at is what the word advance is modifying. If we say that it is modifying the word birthday, then that does not make sense because the birthday is not advanced. The one that is being given in advance is the greeting." -- Very good grammatical analysis. The foregoing line, though, explains why "advance happy birthday" is also correct, though native English speakers prefer to use the circumlocutory "Happy birthday in advance". In either formulation, what is being advanced is the greeting "Happy Birthday" itself.

Hi, Grammar Pulis.

I used to be one those who write "Hello Boss," in an email.

You are right; that's wrong.

In your reply to Ruby Isabella, you wrote "The reason...is because". That construction, I think, is not grammatical, because BECAUSE is a conjunction.

"The reason...is that..." is better.

Keep posting. Arrest those grammar violators! :) I also have a grammar blog. I'm not a pulis, though. I'm a detective.

2010-01-10T15:52:51.304-08:00

Hello.

I am a first-time reader of your blog.

As a grammar "pulis," you had committed something ungrammatical in your latest entry:

"Hopefully I would be back here soon."

Your use of the word "hopefully" is not warranted, as Strunk and White, and other "grammar police" would admonish anyone who dared use that vague word.

Even your use of the word "would" is not with rhyme nor reason, as "hope" is associated with "will."

The sentence should have been:

"I hope I will be back here soon."

2009-08-16T08:34:12.206-07:00

Hi, Ruby Isabella. The reason "Hi Bob," with a comma is wrong is because Hi, Bob. is a sentence, and as such, it needs to end with a period.

Hi. That was really hard. I really wanted to put ...

2009-08-11T21:38:30.221-07:00

Hi.

That was really hard. I really wanted to put comma in. When we are speaking, we can say, "Hi Bob." Then there is a long pause, where they can say something. Or we can say, "Hi Bob, have you finished the report." There is just a short pause. So why can't we start with "Hi Bob, " on an e-mail.

That was a great clip, it was something many of us should take note of.
I'm afraid I am one of those annoying people who can be negligent with punctuation and grammar. This is a great idea for a blog. I am always explaining to my equally negligent teenager that punctuation is the thing that gives language it's music, it creates the rhythm that allows language to soar. I am not always good at taking my own advice though.
