You're missing the forest for the trees. Like I said, it's not about the phrases themselves; then again, perhaps we are talking past each other.

I'll just say that your notion of what is worth getting upset about (or not) _might not_ apply to everybody else, and leave it at that :)



I don’t think I’m missing the point, which is those phrases are used widely enough that they don’t signify babudom. It’s common workplace English and has no wider context than “it’s just Indian English”, not in this day at least.

Fair enough that what is worth getting upset about for me doesn’t apply to others.


it is only common workplace english in india coz of babudom tho...
