Non-native english speaker here. Need help with my work emails

Just as the phrase is "for God's sake," the proper grammar is "for fuck's sake." It's possessive. The fuck is the subject here, it's for their sake. For the sake of the fuck.

For the sake of the Fuck!

** rides into battle
- Where was Gondor when the Westfuck fell?
- They may take our lives, but they can never take... OUR FUCKS!!!!
- May the Fuck be with you.
Correct. The sake brewed by the fuck is the best sake. Fuck's sake is the best sake (Japanese rice wine for the uninitiated).
- Technically, the Japanese word "sake" can refer to pretty much any alcohol, although its use in English refers exclusively to the alcohol called nihonshu in Japan.
  
  Also, while you're correct that it is also colloquially referred to as "Japanese rice wine," the drink is actually brewed in a manner closer to beer than wine.
  
  Lastly, while Fuck's sake is great, I'm sure, the best is Bink's sake. Yohohoho
- Sake brewed by the fuck is semen... just saying
I also think for fucks' sake is correct. For the sake of all the fucks previously and all the ones to come.
Could it not also be the plural possessive? "For the sake of all fucks"? In that case, it would be "For fucks' sake."
For the sake of fuck!
- Dear Sir/Madam/Gamer
  
  For the sake of fuck!
  
  Yours faithfully

It better be for the sake of the fuck of whoever I'm talking to. Because I've run all out of mine
- All fucks given, we're all out.
God, I should’ve paid more attention in middle school English class.

Neither are correct for a work email. If you want to say "for fuck's sakes", instead say "as per our earlier discussion".

For the usual candidates I either keep detailed notes, or make sure I can quickly find an earlier conversation (chat, email, whatever).

So in that case I'm then just answering "As we've discussed on 14.04. at 13:39, 17.04 14:30 and 20.04 at 14:15 already..."

They typically get the hint that when I'm capable of remembering in detail when we discussed it they maybe should make an effort of remembering what we discussed.
- These bastards tend to refuse to put anything down in writing and insist on calling or meeting face to face because "it's faster". But we all know it's so they have no accountability on what they say.

The phrase orginated from "for God's sake". Therefore, it should be "for fuck's sake".

Exactly, ownership.

For the sake of the fuck.
And to that point, it is most definitely not "For God Sakes".

Here's one for you: "an apron" used to be "a napron".

Linguists call this sort of change Rebracketing

....fuuuuuuuck.
- Wait until you find out that a nickname used to be an ickname
- Napkin and Napron comes from the same french word, which means " small cloth". The french word comes from the Latin "mappa" which is from where we directly get the word "map".
Also “a norange” > “an orange” (in Spanish it’s “naranja”)

And it went backwards with napkin. “An apkin” > “a napkin”
- Yes, but no. It was never a norange in english. English directly adopted the word orange from french, so that's the no, but yes, it was the word naranja from spanish, who took it from arab, and arancia from italian, and maybe from the word gold in french, which is "or".
- 100 years we might switch back again...
Unbelievable, I find this kind of thing so fascinating. Thanks for posting.
As a child I rebracketed two words until I was corrected by spell check as a teen- A stigmatism and an acompilation (complied collection of music or stories).
- Me too, that seems like a weirdly specific thing for two people on Lemmy to do.
Also, "an uncle" used to be "a nuncle."

People still use Quora??? That's kind of like asking a dog or cat for advice... And not a particularly smart dog or cat for that matter

Quora results show up way more often than "that other website" now when I Google stuff. Google really took that exodus to heart lmao

But yeah fuck quora and their "sign in to see answers" and then it's just more questions half the page. But sometimes it's useful
- They're also wrong about everything except the one dude three answers down
- Yahoo Answers?
- Yeah I even tried to stay with "that other website" after July 1st but they clearly don't want anyone there cuz they keep banning everyone's accounts including mine.
Disclaimer: I have never posted anything on Quora. However, on rather specific subjects, especially things relative to cultures and communities, I've had limited good luck there after Google searches... Even a trash pile at times has more value than we attribute it.
- Sure, but you have to rummage through trash to find it. I'm sure there's gold and jewellery at the dump, not about to go looking for it though.
This screenshot is very old.

I always say “for fucks sake” but now im realizing makes its “for fuck’s sake”? Not sure who fuck is though.

For the sake of the fuck, for fuck's sake.
The fuck is not a who or we it would be for Fuck's sake.

Oh, maybe Fuck is what the merry men called Friar Tuck when they were drunk!
- "Tire Fuck"
If there are multiple fucks, the apostrophe is after the 's'.

There usually are multiple fucks.

I don't know how to sound professional. Maybe try "on behalf of fuck's sake"?

In this reading "behalf" and "sake" are doing the same thing for "fuck" so that usage read a little redundant to me. If you're looking for the "on behalf of" structure you could go with:

"I you've told me you don't give a fuck, but I do. On behalf of fuck, I'm communicating to you that the action requested needs to be completed by you and your team."

It reminds me of a local translation of Borderlands 2 in russian that added an edgy description to one weapon. Since we are a host of such a thing as orthodox christianity, with holy trinity to top it all, there is a common wording like 'In the name of the God, the Son, the Holy Spirit'. They took it and themed it after pigs: 'In the name of the oats, the hay, the piggy ear'. Here are original and remix:

Во имя Отца, и Сына, и Святого Духа

Во имя Овса, и Сена, и Свиного Уха

As you can see, most letters match, and they sound very close. There's no reason for me to remember it for ten+ years, and now you know it too.

For fuck's ache.

ky jelly is pretty good for that

Image Transcription: Quora

Is it "for fucks sake" or "for fuck sake"? It's for a work email so it has to sound professional.

SAKE!

Oof. I've had good rum hit the wrong part of my mouth/throat and I had to spit take. It's not a pleasant experience to get alcohol burny sensation in your sinuses.
- i mean, sake is particularly fowl.

"for fuck sake" sounds more correct (also non native english speaker)

You're gonna get fired regardless of which one you choose.

ty Mr. Green

You should probably reconsider what you're writing if that's the message you're trying to send

Careful you guys, looks like HR is itt
