Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

I never send a response if I'm just accepting. If declining I probably would

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is this in Outlook that you don't send responses? Because if I don't get a response, I can't tell if you're coming or not. Isn't it important that they know? What am I missing?

It is in outlook, but it means I hit "accept" and it just sends that I've accepted the meeting, no like "do excited for this meeting!" text or anything.

But what I'm talking about is the option in Outlook to not send a response. To not send anything. That's where my problem is. If you don't send anything, I can't tell you from someone who hasn't read or hasn't responded to my invite. So I have to track you down.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Is it standard TV twin magic that lets them do the switcheroo the show hinges on?

Yes, it's a very only-on-TV kind of show. There is some occasional handwaving but mostly it's a matter of embracing the ridiculousness.

Because books.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What a crazy pair!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But Fry argues against needing language "correct" on business signs

I don't think he argues against correct grammar and punctuation on business signs. He just thinks people that make a fuss about it are annoying.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

ita_! - in my Outlook there's a "track" button that shows who's responded and how they responded. When I discovered that is when I started accepting without sending a response.
