Used in emails, it is a common misconception that this is an abbreviation of the word 'regarding'.

Re is a latin word (pronounced 'ray') that means 'in the matter of' and was adopted by the English courts along with many other latin phrases. It has since moved into general correspondence.

Spanish word, used mostly in Argentina, that means "so" or "very". It's the contraction of "recontra"

- "Esto es re importante" or "Esto es recontra importante" : = "This is very important"

- "Es re aburrido esto" or "Esto es recontra aburrido" = "This is so boring"
