Do you mean?

You may think that some words sound professional, but they're not. At all.

In fact, they're dead giveaways that you've copied from somewhere - you didn't learn them in school. 

So, do not misuse the following words in your writing:

1. Find (redundant)
2. Perusal (legalistic)
3. Kindly (old-fashioned)
4. Revert (does not mean reply)

Note: Revert means to return to a former habit, practice, belief, condition, state, topic, etc.

​How about the word "enclose" vs "attach"? Strictly speaking, an email does not have "enclosure(s)" (unlike a letter, parcel, or package). Instead, an email can come with "attachment(s)". Therefore, "attach" is a better choice, but "enclose" is acceptable.

​Here's an amended version of the above email:

Better still, why not just keep it simple (and use "I" instead of "we/us")?

Interestingly, which of these five words do you see in QuickBooks?

• Attach
• Find
• Peruse
• Kindly
• Revert

While preparing the above chart, I must have re-designed it a dozen times, or more. It's not perfect, but I have to say "no more" at some point. Here's Parato's 80/20 rule to tame any perfectionist's mind: 80% of the benefit is generated by 20% of the effort. What this also means is that the last 20% to perfection requires an extra 80% of the effort. In the multiple tasks that we do each day, we need to know when to stop.
