    Is this a commonly used line everywhere? or it's yet another one from the Indian dictionary? For whatever requests that comes from the mates, they say a "Thanks in advance" at the last line. Is it really a global expression? :~

        I'm from the Netherlands and I use it when I want to get something done from someone who would probably not do that :D "Can you do that for me? Thanks in advance!" They can't refuse after that :D

        It's an OO world.

        public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
        public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
        }

                It's often used here in our country. I also use it when I make a request or follow up to another team/department.

                        It's not commonly used here in the UK other than from those who insist on using vapid phrases such as "Run it up the flagpole to see who salutes" and "paradigm".

                          Is this because: "after:" Indians are in such a timeless state of mind (would that be "divyan mada" ?), that there is no "after" ? best, Bill

                            I am Indian, and would use "Thanks in Advance" when it is more like a request from my side, the person addressed to is from a different department, and is somewhat not officially obliged to answer you.
