Hi all,
Is "spare your precious time" a formal English writing?
This context is:
I ask for my advisor's help to explain a difficult academic question. But he is pretty busy. And I want to be as polite and formal as possible when sending him an email to ask for his help. But I am not sure if it is appropriate to say "I wonder if you can spare your precious time and give me an explanation on this problem."
Thank you so much.
Regards,
JamesStephan
