Common Mistakes

• ✗ I want to meet with the team today.

  ✓ I want to meet the team today.

  'Meet with' implies having a discussion or meeting. 'Meet the team' means to be introduced to them for the first time.

• ✗ Nice to meet the team.

  ✓ It is nice to meet you all.

  Saying 'Nice to meet the team' directly to the team sounds impersonal; address them as 'you' or 'you all' when speaking to them directly.
