Business emails

Hi, is it correct to say "I will send you a meeting invite" or "I will send you a meeting invitation" at the workplace? I usually hear the former but I don't know if that's correct.

Hi Jia

"I will send you a meeting invitation" would be the correct way of saying it. " I will send you a meeting invite" is grammatically incorrect. Invite is a verb and invitation is the noun. However, it seems to be used as a noun all the time a;though it not correct English It definitely should not be used in written English.

I am so tired of people saying "Invite" instead of "invitation" in the corporate world. I always remember it was "Invitation" for the last many years that I have been working and now suddenly I hear people say - "Invite". Eyes roll !
