When to use yours faithfully and yours sincerely

In the last bite, we discussed the differences between “Your’s” and “Yours” and finally we reached a conclusion that the correct usage is “Yours”.

In continuation with the same aspect today let us learn when to use “Yours sincerely” and “Yours faithfully”.
Remember, most of us are under the impression that both of them mean the same. But it is not true as their contextual usages are different.

Let us look into these things in detail now;
Letters often include complimentary closes as part of their basic format.

In the choice of a complimentary close, many letter writers are at confusion as to which is appropriate to use: ‘yours sincerely’ or ‘yours faithfully.’

‘Yours sincerely’ must be used when writing to someone that you have met or spoken to. You must address them by their first names, sign the letter ‘Yours sincerely,’ and use your first name in the signature.

For example, in the salutation, you can write ‘Dear Miss Lalitha Patil’ and in the complimentary close, you can write ‘Yours sincerely, Satish Godbole.’

Yours sincerely is British usage. But Americans tend to reverse the order and write Sincerely yours.

When I worked in Africa, I was told to write Sincerely without the Yours that was very bad form. Now, of course, Sincerely is a common and acceptable close for American business letters.

Which words to capitalize…
Only the first word's first letter is capitalized:
Ex: Yours faithfully, Yours sincerely, Yours truly, Sincerely yours
🌹🔆🌹
If you are addressing the person by his designation, you can address them as Dear Sir or Dear Madam. The correct complimentary close, in this case, would be ‘Yours faithfully’ followed by your initials and surname. In this case, the salutation would read ‘Dear Madam’ and the complimentary close would be ‘Yours faithfully, M. S. Narayan.’

If the person that you are writing to is not an acquaintance then use a more formal tone with a formal salutation and the complimentary close, ‘Yours faithfully.’

Although non-business letters are less formal today, it is still necessary to use the correct salutation and complimentary close.
I use ‘Yours faithfully’ in all business letters, while I use ‘Yours sincerely’ in most of my informal correspondence.
🔅🔅🔅
Sometimes I also use ‘Yours truly,’ which is the American equivalent of “yours faithfully”. You can sometimes even use ‘Yours respectfully,’ or ‘Best regards,’ but I always choose my complimentary close carefully and make sure that it matches the salutation.
Note: It is important to take care that we should avoid the use of apostrophes such as your's sincerely or yours' sincerely.
Just use plain yours sincerely or yours faithfully, 'yours' without an apostrophe.
🌷🙏🌷
I hope you learned when to use ‘Yours faithfully’ and ‘Yours sincerely
Thank you and I wish you a happy Gowri and Ganesha festival and a wonderful time.

Today let us learn the differences between yours and your’s.

Yours Vs Your’s
What’s the difference between "yours and your’s?
When to use yours: Yours is a possessive pronoun which shows an object owned or possessed by you.
For example,
Why do you always steal my shoes? Yours are right over there!
Your homemade bread always tastes so much better than mine. Yours is so soft and buttery.

When to use your’s:
Your’s is never correct, so don’t ever use it. People including native speakers often accidentally add an apostrophe to yours even though it isn’t necessary.
When you see this error, you can assume the person meant to write yours.
Yours should never have an apostrophe.
For example:
Are those your’s? I don’t remember if those are my pencils or not. (Incorrect)
Are those yours? I don’t remember if those are my pencils or not. (Correct)

Those aren’t my coins. They’re Sally’s and your’s. (Incorrect)
Those aren’t my coins. They’re Sally’s and yours. (Correct)

Thus, there is no word like your's in Modern English at all. So avoid using it, please.

🌸😊Have a wonderful weekend and keep smiling 😊💐

Today let us learn how to use "if" and "in case" in the sentences.
I have heard many using both "in case" and "if" together in a sentence which is absolutely wrong.
Before knowing the usage first let us know their meanings.
‘In case’ is a conditional phrase and ‘If’ is a conditional conjunction and they do mean the same thing and hence, either use ‘if’ or ‘in case’ in any sentence.
Never use in case and if together in any sentence.
In case following if is not correct.
First, incase is not one word. It is two words: in case.
Second, in case and if have pretty much the same contextual meaning.
I will not go to my office by my car in case it snows.
has the same meaning as
I will not go to my office by my car if it snows.
Therefore, use of both in case and if is redundant.
She always carries an umbrella with her in case if it rains. (Wrong)

(Please notice that in the above sentence I have used both in case and if together.)

She always carries an umbrella with her in case/ if it rains. (Right)

(Please notice that in the above sentence I have used if or incase)

Hope now you all learnt how to use "if and in case" and from now onwards use them cautiously.
