I received a not-so-important email today

And I learned a new word.

What RSVP Means

The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond".

If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.

It's very difficult to learn new things from emails nowadays. Because at one time, my inbox peaked at 712 email messages. 99% are junk messages. But still, I was determined and checked my email everyday, looking for that silver lining, for that all important and real email. Recently, I finally cleared my inbox and started anew. I think I must do that really frequently, because I think it brought me good luck.
