It's interesting because I was trying to think of who would I say this to and who wouldn't I?
Even at work, I would say this.
Like if I, you know, we went in a room, oh, close the door, will you?
Like that's polite.
But if it were like a client I'm meeting for the first time, I wouldn't.
I would probably say, oh, please close the door if you don't mind.
Exactly, right?
It's just very informal.
So it's not like you could only say it to the super closest friends, but depending on the intonation, right?
It's just quite informal.
But imagine if you said, give me a hand with this, will ya?
You can add irritation to your tone very easily if you're doing it accidentally, right?
So it's sort of avoiding that sing-songy tone that sounds irritated.
Exactly.
And if you are irritated, I would avoid this.
Would you please close the door instead of close the door, will you?
So it kind of does depend on the phrasing too, right?
