Thank you for being our [valued] customer.
We appreciate you being our customer.

'please, make sure' => 'please make sure'
'paid for provided services' => 'paid for the services provided'

Say 'blooming' instead of the other b-word.

 crockodile

did i say "deverbative adjectives and punctuation"?....

i'm terribly sorry, this won't ever happen again.

 johnstephenson

link 19.08.2016 14:05 
Anyway, it's a past passive participle, not an adjective....

trtrtr: At school we were told not to say 'bloody'. If we did we'd probably have got the cane. So a lot of adults said 'ruddy' instead, as a euphemism. And the f-word was definitely verboten.

Now everybody says 'bloody' AND the f-word, even on TV (after 9pm), and 'ruddy' is considered so weak that no-one uses it. Standards ain't wot they used to be....

Interesting, thank you.

"it's a past passive participle, not an adjective" - i apologized

 johnstephenson

link 19.08.2016 14:39 
'apologize' -- present tense. ;-)

 crockodile

link 19.08.2016 14:43 
i meant i had already said "sorry" at 16:45.
