My colleague and I have been arguing as to whether the phrase "on the same" is grammatically correct. Could someone pls help us out? <br />IMHO this phrase should be used instead of repeating something, in a context similar as the one shown below: <br /> <br />"This is with reference to your email.  Thank you for a prompt reply on <br />the same." <br /> <br />Thanks a lot. <br />Suita
