Hi, Send the feedback in the email. The definite ariticle before 'email' makes it sound like you are talking about a specific email. ' I don't think this is what you mean.

Hi,

Send the feedback in the email. The definite ariticle before 'email' makes it sound like you are talking about a specific email. eg 'Send the feedback in the email that you are going to write to IBM.' I don't think this is what you mean.

Send the feedback by email. This sounds fine.

Best wishes, Clive

Yes, when you say 'send the feedback by email,' you are specifying a method on how to send feedback.

Ex:
Send feedback by telephone
Send feedback by fax

are 'it's on email' and 'to send information on email' correct?

No, 'on' isn't used with written communications such as e-mails or letters, only when someone will listen to it, for example the telephone or the radio.

thank you nona!

is it a big mistake, in speech i mean, can 'on' be used in this way as a part of ****? i know an aussie who says this way, probably he's wrong, but can the country have any relevance here?

Not really - I think it could be the aussie accent confusing you - that is his version of 'in'.
