[Grammar] Sing me, please! Write me, please!

[englishhobby]

Is it natural to say 'Sing me, please!' or 'Write me, please!' (without any object)?

 

[bhaisahab]

No, not in BrE.

 

[emsr2d2]

I believe that "Write me" is OK in AmE. I don't think "Sing me" works though.

 

[Rover_KE]

'Sing me' doesn't work on its own, but you can say 'Sing me Soft Kitty'.

 

[GoesStation]

"Write me" is indeed okay in American English (along with "Call me" and various other communication-related imperatives). "Sing me", by itself, is not.

 

[andrewg927]

Text, MSM, Email, PM, Facetime, etc. are some other ways to accompany "me".

 

[emsr2d2]

All of those are fine in BrE too.

In BrE, "Write to me" cannot drop the "to". I can't think of another example in which BrE insists on "to" being included but AmE is OK without it.
