A man came to the bank, and there the announcement on the whole door: "Closed for technical reasons. We apologize for the inconvenience." Where is the mistake here, find? It seems to be no mistake, everything is written correctly, right?
Inconvenience cannot be delivered. They can be inflicted. Correctly write "for inconvenience." Let's talk about them in this article.
What it is?
The inconvenience that we cause others for one reason or another. They can be either intentional or unconscious.
For example, a passenger stepped on a bus in the leg. Either the person did not see your foot, or the bus shook sharply. What will the “delinquent" do? If this is a well-mannered person, he will apologize for the inconvenience.
How do they cause inconvenience?
According to the scenario described in the previous subsection: either by accident, or on purpose.
Who most often experiences inconvenience from us? Oddly enough, these are close people. Our friends and acquaintances.
It would seem that what nonsense? On the contrary, we protect dear people from something bad.
Consider the situation: mom calls and asks to pay her bills for the apartment up to a certain date, since then a penalty will be charged. We promise, but because of our many worries, we safely forget about the request of the mother. Isn't this inconvenience? What else.
Inconvenience can be caused by denying a person help when he hopes for us and waits for her. Imagine: a friend asked to sit with her child, because the eldest son has graduation in the kindergarten. They promised, and suddenly fell ill. And all - caused inconvenience. Unintentionally, of course. Who could have known that the temperature would jump that day? But still.
Inadvertently caused inconvenience, with them it is clear. And especially when they cause? What is this?
Again, the situation is with a friend and her child. It seems they promised to sit with the youngest. But suddenly laziness became, the desire to go somewhere disappeared. And so, we call our friend and say that the temperature has jumped. Although, there is no temperature at all. Caused an inconvenience? What else, and moreover, intentionally, because of my own laziness.
What else can be said about this phenomenon? We encounter them with enviable constancy. A bank closed for technical reasons, the only one near our house, or a non-working store in which we are accustomed to buying products after work are all the inconvenience to us. Now you have to make a circle to drop into the store. And devote part of the day off to a trip to the bank branch located on the other side of the city.
Problems with the Russian language?
As mentioned above, we often come across the announcement: "We apologize for the inconvenience." It would seem that there are no errors here. But the inconvenience does not deliver, they cause. Therefore, this proposal is not drawn up correctly. The correct version is: "We apologize for the inconvenience."
Conclusion
The article describes what can be called an inconvenience caused without any intent. And also, it was considered that there is a conscious inconvenience.
Apologizing for the inconvenience is not difficult. And it’s even easier simply not to create it, if we promise, then we must fulfill the promise, without trying to evade responsibility.
