The BIGGEST for me is 'I can not able to'. This is SO wrong, but almost all, I think Chennai people use it. Guys is that how they teach you, because its so common, and no one realizes they are wrong!

Please know 'able' and 'cannot' in same sentence is wrong.

Say 'I am/was not able' to or 'I cannot do it'. Able and can do no go together.

There is no such word as &quot;prepone&quot; and stop using &quot;kind&quot; and &quot;kindly&quot; out of context.

no sir/madam

prepone is a desi word for postpone. the proper word would be advanced. . eg.meeting is advanced by an hour instead of saying meeting is preponed.

Actually prepone is an Indian english word which is not used outside India. It means the opposite of postpone - means to move it earlier.

I am glad that someone brought this up .
I have seen people using “can be able to ‘in formal emails
Please address people with their first names .Just cause you add a ‘T’ down south doesn’t mean every name has it
You can copy paste the name from the contact list .Please do not use your brains to spell someone’s name
It’s disgusting to be addressed with a misspelled name

Also please do not instill a culture of being ‘yes man/woman’ to the clients
This enforces a wrong working culture
We are no subordinates to anyone rather we work as teams towards a common goal
