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.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
it just sends that I've accepted the meeting
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.

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
When I discovered that is when I started accepting without sending a response.
You discovered that you could make someone go to extra trouble to know if you're on board and that was enough to make you decide that you would ?
I'm being snarky, but I kind of don't get it.

I don't usually send a response. Most of my invites are about one of a few project meetings that will be happening at that day/time whether or not I'll be there. The invite is more of a reminder, honestly; those meetings have a pretty set schedule and the only thing that changes occasionally is the location.
If it's a one-off meeting, or something that might actually be rescheduled if I can't make it, then I send one.
