How to write a professional email in indian english?

posted 6 months ago

I’m a bit lost here. Should I use british conventions? US conventions? Is there indian conventions? Or maybe cultural points I should be aware of?

Google is confusing me more than it is helping me?

Thanks.

As an American, I flip-flop (unintentionally) between British and American spellings on a number of words.

Unless OP is writing for a published doc, I don’t really think it matters all that much.

I’ve worked with Brits - English, Scot, Irish (and many Indians), and while they may write or pronounce things slightly differently than I’m used to, we understand each other just fine. I even appreciate hearing their construction and phrasing.
