Resent and re-sent

I would include the hyphen, to distinguish from the actual verb resent, to dislike.

It shows up in thefreedictionary. Unless it is part of a class assignment in an English class, I would use resend. Resent as the problem that it also means aggrieved. I would still use it in the past tense if the context made the meaning self evident, but maybe that is just me.

PterIs it correct to use resent when you mean re-sent?

Not in my opinion. I once actually got an e-mail from a co-worker that began, "I resent your message", and let me tell you, my blood started to boil before I realized (after reading further) what he had meant.

Thank you very much for your replies. I often receive "resent" emails from co-workers (they are not native speakers). I have long been wondering how common it is for native speakers.

Could try other ones such as resubmitted (Adj) / revised (Adj) paper, or resubmit (V) / revise (V) instead?

It was one of the issues I encountered when I was just beginning to learn English. It is, actually, my fifth language, and yet, it is my favorite, I like it even more than my native language. It is simultaneously beautiful and simple. By calling it simple, I mean that it only takes some very basic knowledge and small vocabulary to be able to communicate on a conversational level. Its complexity re

So which is the correct word for sending again ??

Philip answered that in 2009.

Re-sent for past tense. Re-send or resend for present tense, but really if resend isn't in typical use, I'd use re-send to eliminate all doubt. Best to use two words. I'm "sending again". :-).

This is so funny, I've been telling people I resent their email... for years !!!
