See you (on) Monday

[kohyoongliat]

See you on Monday.
See you Monday.

I remember reading that #1 is BrE, while #2 is AmE. Am I correct? (By the way, should I use 'and' instead of 'while'?)

Many thanks.

Your First sentence is correct, "See you ON monday" abiding with the rule that the preposition "ON" is use to indicate a time or an instance when something takes or will about to take place.

Also, I suggest that when referring to some contradictions, better use "BUT."

I would say that "See you Monday" is a fairly common elision in both AmE and BrE. It is colloquial and better not used in formal work.

Hi Anglika

Thanks for your explanation.

By the way, does 'colloquial' mean 'informal'?

Thanks again.

 

[Anglika]

It means that it is used in informal spoken English.

 

[kohyoongliat]

It means that it is used in informal spoken English.

So does "informal" mean that it can be used in writing but is not standard Englsh, but 'formal' is used in writing standard English.
Sorry for the clarification I need.

Many thanks.

I would say that if something is "informal" or "colloquial", only use it if you are either writing a piece of fiction or to someone you know very well.

It is best to use "formal" English when writing to business contacts or in examinations.

Thanks, Anglika.

Best regards

Dropping the preposition is becoming more common in BrE; I think it's an American import. You will also hear BrE speakers saying 'write me', but as Anglika says, these are colloquial forms in BrE. ;-)

Yes, I agree with you. The British are accepting American English in a lot of cases. I don't understand why.

Television and films have a lot to answer for!

 

[kohyoongliat]

I agree.

There has always been a flow in both directions. The internet and globalisation are going to increase the trend. ;-)
