Neither are correct for a work email. If you want to say “for fuck’s sakes”, instead say “as per our earlier discussion”.

For the usual candidates I either keep detailed notes, or make sure I can quickly find an earlier conversation (chat, email, whatever).
So in that case I’m then just answering “As we’ve discussed on 14.04. at 13:39, 17.04 14:30 and 20.04 at 14:15 already…”
They typically get the hint that when I’m capable of remembering in detail when we discussed it they maybe should make an effort of remembering what we discussed.

The phrase orginated from “for God’s sake”. Therefore, it should be “for fuck’s sake”.
Exactly, ownership.
For the sake of the fuck.
And to that point, it is most definitely not “For God Sakes”.
Here’s one for you: “an apron” used to be “a napron”.
Linguists call this sort of change Rebracketing
…fuuuuuuuck.
Wait until you find out that a nickname used to be an ickname
Some of them still are.
Napkin and Napron comes from the same french word, which means " small cloth". The french word comes from the Latin “mappa” which is from where we directly get the word “map”.
Also “a norange” > “an orange” (in Spanish it’s “naranja”)
And it went backwards with napkin. “An apkin” > “a napkin”
Yes, but no. It was never a norange in english. English directly adopted the word orange from french, so that’s the no, but yes, it was the word naranja from spanish, who took it from arab, and arancia from italian, and maybe from the word gold in french, which is “or”.
I’ve never been so delighted to be wrong. Thank you—that’s fascinating.
100 years we might switch back again…
That’ll always be the dream…
Unbelievable, I find this kind of thing so fascinating. Thanks for posting.
As a child I rebracketed two words until I was corrected by spell check as a teen- A stigmatism and an acompilation (complied collection of music or stories).
Me too, that seems like a weirdly specific thing for two people on Lemmy to do.
Rebracketing buddies! 🤜
Also, “an uncle” used to be “a nuncle.”

People still use Quora??? That’s kind of like asking a dog or cat for advice… And not a particularly smart dog or cat for that matter
Asking strangers for advice online is so unreliable you might as well ask ChatGPT every time now.
That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s been brilliant
Where do you think ChatGPT scraped in the first place?
That’s exactly why I said “you might as well”. Because it’s the same shit but faster
Quora results show up way more often than “that other website” now when I Google stuff. Google really took that exodus to heart lmao
But yeah fuck quora and their “sign in to see answers” and then it’s just more questions half the page. But sometimes it’s useful
They’re also wrong about everything except the one dude three answers down
Yahoo Answers?
Yeah I even tried to stay with “that other website” after July 1st but they clearly don’t want anyone there cuz they keep banning everyone’s accounts including mine.
Disclaimer: I have never posted anything on Quora. However, on rather specific subjects, especially things relative to cultures and communities, I’ve had limited good luck there after Google searches… Even a trash pile at times has more value than we attribute it.
Sure, but you have to rummage through trash to find it. I’m sure there’s gold and jewellery at the dump, not about to go looking for it though.
This screenshot is very old.
It reminds me of a local translation of Borderlands 2 in russian that added an edgy description to one weapon. Since we are a host of such a thing as orthodox christianity, with holy trinity to top it all, there is a common wording like ‘In the name of the God, the Son, the Holy Spirit’. They took it and themed it after pigs: ‘In the name of the oats, the hay, the piggy ear’. Here are original and remix:
Во имя Отца, и Сына, и Святого Духа
Во имя Овса, и Сена, и Свиного Уха
As you can see, most letters match, and they sound very close. There’s no reason for me to remember it for ten+ years, and now you know it too.
Image Transcription: Quora
Is it “for fucks sake” or “for fuck sake”? It’s for a work email so it has to sound professional.
I don’t know how to sound professional. Maybe try “on behalf of fuck’s sake”?
Oof. I’ve had good rum hit the wrong part of my mouth/throat and I had to spit take. It’s not a pleasant experience to get alcohol burny sensation in your sinuses.
i mean, sake is particularly fowl.
For fuck’s ache.
ky jelly is pretty good for that
I always say “for fucks sake” but now im realizing makes its “for fuck’s sake”? Not sure who fuck is though.
For the sake of the fuck, for fuck’s sake.
The fuck is not a who or we it would be for Fuck’s sake.
Oh, maybe Fuck is what the merry men called Friar Tuck when they were drunk!
“Tire Fuck”
If there are multiple fucks, the apostrophe is after the ‘s’.
There usually are multiple fucks.
Just as the phrase is “for God’s sake,” the proper grammar is “for fuck’s sake.” It’s possessive. The fuck is the subject here, it’s for their sake. For the sake of the fuck.
For the sake of the Fuck!
** rides into battle
“for fuck sake” sounds more correct (also non native english speaker)
You should probably reconsider what you’re writing if that’s the message you’re trying to send
Careful you guys, looks like HR is itt
