 correct usage of words 1. Can 'please' be used with 'kindly'? 2. Should it be 'take off'' or 'remove'? Many thanks. |

| Re: correct usage of words How formal do you want to be? Please remove your shoes Kindly remove your shoes OR Please take off your shoes Kindly take off your shoes. The first two are more formal than the second; "Please" and "kindly" could be used together, but it is not necessary or usual. |

Please take offyour shoes.  Kindly take off your shoes. Take off and remove are interchangeable but the former is most common. Hope this helps! Dawood Last edited by Dawood Usmani; 15-Oct-2008 at 14:40. |
