Word order: he has not replied yet vs he has not yet replied yet.
I have to write one of the following phrases into a formal correspondence (job application) in order to ask:
Because he has not replied yet to my confirmation mail that I have sent to him three days ago?
That
is all I have to reply!
My application has been denied.
He has not replied yet to all of my emails. I sent another email to indicate that there has been no decision. This is the contest. I was not sure whether a decision
has been made regarding my application, because he hasn’t replied yet to my confirmation email that I have sent to him three days ago.
Which is 100% better? What is important is how you want to express your feelings. But it will vary if you simply show attention. How do you express this? I give you the example to show you that in this case the second one works better. Given the nature of the work I was doing on a web page for a software application in which I wanted to present the
user the following sentence: I seem that the Fractal Accounting server address has not been in your IE’s “Trusted Zone…. How
can I write a sentence as a first two letter sentence? What is the place of “you still” in your sentence?
In your example, on the other hand, the two expressions give two (slight) different impressions: “he has not replied yet” means “I still hope that he would reply, because (for example) he is a little busy but will eventually reply, as he always do” while, on the other hand, “he has not yet replied” means something like “I expected a quicker reply from him and there are other things that I should do after his replying but he has not even replied.” In
fact, in the first form you emphasize on the time of replying, while in the second form your emphasis is on the replying itself.
Both speakers speak English, but the first is more formal. I’m not sure why this is, but as a native speaker I can say, the second is more correct and that the first is awkward to me. I would use the second in a sentence.
This may not be relevant, but note that those are not complete sentences; they are dependent clauses. (They might have been part of sentences that you haven’t included.)
