thereby

[bieasy]

Hi,

Is the following sentence correct?

"I thereby tender my dismissal...."

It's difficult to say whether your sentence is correct because we don't know what "thereby" refers to. But from a purely grammatical perspective, the sentence is correct.

Not a teacher.

 

[Allen165]

Did you mean to write "I hereby tender my dismissal"?

 

[bieasy]

Did you mean to write "I hereby tender my dismissal"?

Yes, but I let the few points because would complete the sentence later.

I'm not sure if you understood what Jasmin was asking. Maybe you wanted to write "hereby" instead "thereby"?

It's something like: "I, 'through' this letter, tender my dismissal...."

In French: "par la présente,.... "

I think you're right. Maybe it was "hereby" Good point, Mmasny:up:

It's actually Jasmin's point.

 

[bieasy]

It's actually Jasmin's point.

Thank you both. But what is more appropriate? "thereby" or "hereby"?

 

[mmasny]

Hereby means what you wanted to mean.

Surely you tender your resignation, not your dismissal?

Maybe he's sacking himself.;-)

Resignation should be more appropriate indeed.

It was the last James Bond movie. In that scene, he typed on the laptop "I hereby tender my dismissal" I had a doubt about "hereby", but I'm quite sure it was dismissal.
