When exactly is 'next Monday'?

@Conchita

The word ‘inclusive’ may seem a bit formal. Now, as to make you sound unfriendly or like an angry math teacher, you’ll allow me to have my doubts! I agree, though, that it is used more in business or administrative English than in informal, everyday conversation. Nobody has claimed otherwise.

Hi Conchita
It’s funny about the word inclusive. I know the Germans use it in German. But, in English, it sounds slightly odd to me (for the date of return), too, although I generally don’t argue against it in a written business context.

@Conchita

I wonder why it sounds more British than American to me. Funny, isn’t it?

This link has an interesting article on the term ‘miffed’:

Hi Yankee,

Now for pete’s sake don’t you start getting complexes - please! Words is a game of pick and mix.You takes your pick and who cares who said it first or whether it came from the Chinese Emperor or Tony Blair. No cancel that second name. He couldn’t find an original word if it stood up and bit him.

Now Amy what you been and gone and done? There’s me responding and calm as you like you go and delete what I’m referring to. That’s a bit off, what?
