I know it's pedantry but I flinch whenever I read "please RSVP"

Why? Because it technically translates to "Respond, if it pleases you" - but it's used as if it meant "I demand that you to respond with yes or no"

Personally I've let go of my hangup on this, and just accepted that any mention of RSVP now colloquially means "I demand a response".

Heck, even wikipedia's definition mentions that a possible translation can be "Please respond"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSVP

RSVP is an initialism derived from the French phrase Répondez s'il vous plaît" meaning "Respond, if it pleases you", or just "Please respond", to require confirmation of an invitation

@jiraTicket "if it pleases you" or "if you like" is a poor translation of "s'il vous plait", it specifically means "please" in French. This is a fine example of mirror translation losing parts of the original meaning. I flinch because 3/4 of "rsvp" already stands for "please", and the remaining 1/4 is the same root in English. If you want to spell "please" in english, then the translation is "please respond".
