Grammar
Appreciated / Appreciate It
Hi there,
I've often heard people say "appreciate it" instead of "thank you." Is it actually they are saying "appreciated"? I wonder this because the sentence "appreciate it" does not have a subject so it sounds like an imperative sentence. So I'm afraid of using it on a written sentence because the reader may take it I'm commanding to appreciate something.
Could somebody clarify it? Thanks.

Hi, The phrase is a short form of ' I appreciate it'. It's just for casual conversation, not for writing. Write it in full.

Thanks for such a quick reply. I see, the subject is omitted.
What about when I write in twitter or mail for friends? Is it okey to I omit I (the subject)?

I belive 'appreciate it' is not correct grammer format as it would infer that please appreciate it and not 'your efforts/work appreciated'.

Great stuff. How do you say, " I really apprecated your time" or I appreciated you sharing about....."
Is it correct to say it that way. Or just to say thanks for sharing etc...
