I'd add that "link me up" isn't a standard idiom in American English -- a US speaker would probably say "send me the link" or "link me to it".

- soulofmischief 4y agoI believe proper American parlance is "I'mma need the link". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwBEpjOwbpM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwBEpjOwbpM

- prvit 4y agoPretty sure that’s a common expression (in American English too) referring not to URLs but making contact with people. “Why didn’t anyone bother to put me in touch” is how I’d interpret it.
- duskwuff 4y agoWhile "to link up" is an idiom in American English, "to link <someone> up" is not. The phrase is intransitive -- even if the referent were a person, one would usually say "to link up with <someone>". Moreover, the phrase implies a casual social encounter, which wouldn't be appropriate here; a more formal introduction would be implied by a phrase like "get me in touch".
- MisterSandman 4y agoI'd point out that "link me up" isn't a phrase used in Indian English either, so the person who fakes this wasn't really trying hard.
