Syntax in the workplace

[Spideysgirl]

I'm by no means the syntax or grammar police. But there is one things that really bothers me about my co workers syntax.

They will say things like "Can you please send me a copy of the file?" When I read that it comes across as sounding rude.

I try to be polite and word it in a tone that doesn't sound rude. " Could you send me a copy of the file, please?" or " May I get a copy of the file, please?"
Those sound much more pleasant to me.

Does starting a question with Can you please...sound rude? Is it bad syntax?
