[字辨] "Please kindly" --- please or kindly?

這下誤會大了！幸好現在釐清了，為時未晚。

有些字，我們自信地認為自己懂，但其實是錯誤的，卻又愛用（例如 in line with ）

今天，要不是家人拿我當英文家教，我恐怕會繼續這個錯誤：

以為 please kindly ... 是比較客氣的說法

事實上，

"kindly = please, but in a more negative way"

OALD: 

2 (old-fashioned, formal) used to ask or tell somebody to do something, especially when you are annoyed

M-W Learner's: 

2 — used to make a formal request 

▪ Would you kindly [=please] pass the salt? 

 — sometimes used in making a request that is caused by annoyance

▪ Would you kindly turn down the music? I'm trying to read. ▪ Kindly leave me alone.
