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.
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.
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.

Like identical cousins!
They're two of a kind!
What a crazy pair!
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.
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.

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.
Mine probably comes from when the Engineering Director decided that I was his secretary and starting making me schedule his meetings. So the meeting responses - for the entire Engineering Department - would come to me (and I Really Didn't Care). I got VERY sick of meeting responses. So even for my own meetings, I found I would rather just open up the Track page, see that this one was tentative, that one declined, and these others hadn't responded at all.
eta: If I have a meeting where my Particular Presence matters, I will usually respond, but most of mine are either all-hands, or every Monday at 10, etc., where my individual presence is not required.
