Please may you...

[TheLeadbetterLife]

Dear World,

Please may you put the phrase "please may you..." in a box along with improper use of reflexive pronouns, and yeet the lot into the sea?

I trust all is in order, and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,
Margo Leadbetter

My brother says
Can will May you pass the ...
just to make sure he's covered all bases, and it winds my mum up 😂😂

I think winding up people like me is a legitimate use exception.

Professional people using it in emails however...

My children used to say this. We had drummed into them that they should say "please may I" rather than "please can I" so it seemed to them to be logical.

In their defence, they had stopped doing it by the age of about 8.

Is ‘yeet’ a typo?
Is ‘Margo’ a typo?

God yes, this is annoying. Bloody Stacey whatsername says it all the time on Glow Up. (YES, I KNOWWWW!) "Please may you out your brushes down..."

Yeet means throw, btw

'Margo' is the spelling used for the character in 'The Good Life'.
'Yeet' is slang for throwing something away.

Well, that adds a whole dimension to her character!
Yeet is new to me.
