Regardless of what most usage books say, it might help you to better understand the distinction if you're mindful of the following points 1 It's all about the meaning. What "some"/"any" means is all that matters. "Some" means something limited in the context, whereas "any" emphasizes that there's no such limitation. For example, by "some information" you mean "a limited set of information given the context." By "any information", you mean "an unlimited set of information given the context." 2 Generally, you have a limited set of information. Hence, "I have some information about the car accident." If, however, you'd like to emphasize that you know all about the car accident, you might be able to say, contrary to most usage books, "I have any information about the car accident", although the usual context makes it very unlikely. 3 The difference between "Do you have any/some information about the next class?" is that you normally use "some" here for the context-specific limited set of information, and that you may well use "any" instead in order to emphasize that you're not limiting the type of information about the next class.

May I please get the details? Do you mind if I get the details? I can not decide which is best to use in this situation, and will be acceptable both in US and British English. gold badges114 silver badges199 bronze badges asked Sep 20, 2012 at 2031 1 'I should be grateful if you would send me the details.' answered Sep 20, 2012 at 2046 Barrie EnglandBarrie England139k10 gold badges241 silver badges401 bronze badges 1 I see nothing wrong with "May I get the details?"ābut customs differ in different environments. I'm fond of "Would it be possible for me to get . . .?" This does my correspondent the courtesy of recognizing that what I'm requesting is something of an imposition and may not be "possible" or, more likely, convenient for him with his busy schedule. At the same time it presents a mild challenge nobody likes to admit that anything is impossibleāunless, of course, it actually is impossible, for reasons which he will be happy to supply, in order to displace my disappointment on some third party. answered Sep 20, 2012 at 2047 StoneyB on hiatusStoneyB on gold badges133 silver badges238 bronze badges 1 In American English, there is nothing impolite in your statement. The term get might, just might, be though of as a bit demanding, but it would have to be a very sensitive recipient to take offense at it. The word have is slightly gentler. Adding please almost always helps. "May I please have the details?" As noted in other answers, adding reasons and how this will benefit the responder can also help achieve a positive reaction. answered Sep 20, 2012 at 2241 gold badges117 silver badges224 bronze badges The context would affect it; but for in a case where you are asking them to file a ticket Note that you can file a bug report here{link to url}, please include all relevant details to help us in our investigation.

Treating the "details" linguistically as a physical object that someone "gives" to you, and as something that you "get", seems to be a source of the informality; the phrasing I am offering avoids doing this, at least explicitly. Note also that this is not a request, but rather a statement of what you would prefer. This in my mind adds formality. answered Sep 23, 2012 at 819 "Pass along" is a good alternative to give or get. answered Sep 21, 2012 at 640 MerkMerk3,57614 silver badges21 bronze badges
