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.
"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*t definitely should not be used in written English.
Is it grammatically OK to writeI've sent you an invitation for a meeting on _[Day]

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 !
Invite is a verb while invitation is the noun.Invite, although its use is prevalent, is a colloquial and therefore an informal form of invitation. Its use is cited as having begun circa mid 1600s. Lately, its use is promoted on the internet.Invitation is the acceptable noun in formal contexts.
The answer is
