Hello,
This one is for English majors and those who have the whole thesaurus memorized.
I would like to ask a researcher to compile a list of common words and
phrases used by everyday people (in English) to say parting words
(such as good byes) or closures of letters. I am requesting atleast 50
entries, and for every one after that, you'll receive a $0.20 per
word/phrase as an extra.
Example of such list is below:
Regular Common:
Good Bye
Bye
See you
Take care
Until Next Time
Regular Formal (Letter):
Sincerely,
Trully yours,
Respectfully yours,
Regular Informal:
Peace (slang)
One (slang)
See ya
Ciao
