[h=3]Hello everyone![/h]
I received a text from my mother today, saying “Eat what Tonight?”. That got me thinking.
I thought it wasn’t good English, even for texting, I thought we should say “What should we tonight?” or something like that whenever we were starting a (text) conversation.
But I thought maybe we could you it as a follow up, but is it still rude?
Like,
A: We should eat out tonight.
Me: Eat what?
I think that’s quite rude and it suggests I don’t quite want to eat out or maybe even eat.
What do you think?
Thanks!
