| Feb 5, 2018 at 0:04 | comment | added | English Student | I originally decided to use that method in every comment because I was confused to find that some comment replies need the @ + username for notifying the user and some do not. The linked meta page makes it very clear how comment replies work. Thanks for the information @TOOGAM. | |
| Feb 4, 2018 at 23:48 | comment | added | TOOGAM | Side note to author of this post: I notice you often replies to posts using an at sign, followed by the poster's name. (e.g., you did with every answer provided to this ?, so far. The name of the post's author is actually assumed, so typing the name isn't necessary in that case. (For example, E.S., you got notified about this message, which didn't have your name.) For further information on how this is handled, you can read Meta: How do comment replies work. | |
| Dec 11, 2017 at 15:39 | comment | added | English Student | Thanks for the observation @maxathousand. This matter had been discussed in detail with another member, but you can't read it here because nearly the whole comments section later got removed. The summary of the discussion is, I think we are not concerned solely with giving OP tips to somehow state a plausible & neutral reason while asking for a receipt: IMHO the 'why' of it, which takes up so many paragraphs including the footnote, is just as important as the 'how', which takes up only a few, when we are addressing a potentially interpersonal problem and suggesting an 'interpersonal solution.' | |
| Dec 11, 2017 at 15:26 | comment | added | maxathousand | This is a good answer, but I feel like the first 5 paragraphs was simply restating the OP's concerns and didn't contribute to the actual suggestions at all. Additionally, the footnote isn't really necessary. | |
| Dec 11, 2017 at 12:19 | comment | added | pabouk - Ukraine stay strong | @amflare: There is one really important reason which you do not need to make up. If something bad happens to the lender and his legal competence ceases then there could be somebody else who could demand to pay the money. For such a situation you would need a confirmation that the loan was paid. --- Also in Czechia we say: "Order makes friends." en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Czech_proverbs#P | |

| Dec 9, 2017 at 21:50 | comment | added | user541686 | Interesting this is a problem in India... there's a saying in Iran that roughly translates to "accounting is accounting, brother is brother" that people apply to these situations. i.e. everything has its own place, even when dealing with your own brother. I guess more-nearby cultures can still be very different :) | |

Removed some tangential details (the backstory and explanation of "saving face" doesn't contribute to answering the question)
