I don't know what you mean about "notice somebody without sufficient time." I think you may mean to notify them, not to notice them.

A more informal way: Sorry for not giving you a better/longer heads-up

Hi MrPedantic, your phrase doesn't make sense for me and it is pretty clear that the person wanted to mean " notice somebody without enough time". Could be more specific with your phrase??????. Silvina.

Hi Hutopire,

The first word that springs to mind when I hear the term "online pharmacy" is spam. What do you think about online pharmacy and spam and how does it relate to this thread?

Hello Silvina,

I meant "Sorry for leaving it so late (before letting you know)."

In the context of "short notice", it might serve.

Best wishes,

Hi Alan, I have a query what is the difference between latitude and liberty and in what context they can be used. Thank in advance. Silvina.
