Sabi ko na nga ba, weird 'yung paggamit nila sa office ng "revert back" sa email. Hahaha. Found out na Indian English siya pero syempre 'di official sources mga tinignan ko (idek if may official source ba for that).

Nag-aagree ako sa argument na revert means to go back to something like an older version. Pero who knows 'di ba, baka ang perspective ko ay nakapaloob sa Philippine English, like avail.

Daming "kindly revert back the file by EOB [date]" eh paano mare-"revert" kung ia-update ko at isasign pa. Edi na-"update" 'yung thing.

Ayon kay chatGPT:

May argument din na revert BACK is redundant. Like sit down or stand up. You can't revert anything forward.

While it is commonly used, saying "revert back" in an email can be considered redundant and unnecessary. The word "revert" already implies a return or going back to a previous state or condition. Therefore, using "revert back" can be seen as repetitive. It is more concise and clear to simply use "revert" or "reply" in your email. For example, you can say "Please revert to me by tomorrow" or "Please reply to my email by tomorrow."

Allegedly, it can also mean to reply daw. "Please revert by email."

So I guess, kindly revert = kindly reply. "Kindly revert tomorrow" is fine.
