Re: You Cannot Graciously Accept

Every year I go the field, I have been told I cannot "graciously accept" and saying "we would like to request the assistance of" is incorrect, and "I would like to request the assistance of" is how I should ask teams to join my our alliance.

The grammar errors have never made a difference to me, since these improper terms have become the standard in FIRST. Teams "graciously accept" other teams, and alliance selection students say "we" would like to select, as opposed to "I" would like to select (I say "we" because although I am selecting a team, I am representing the whole team and the selections of the whole team, not myself). In fact, it's always weird to me when someone switches from the usual (unspoken but agreed upon) vernacular for FIRST robotics alliance selections.

I think as long as people are acting professional on the field during selections, it doesn't matter what adjective you use to accept.
