“please check it out” Is that a strange expression? Thanks
A friend of mine had a document she needed to show to a Chinese American, and when she sent it, she said to him, "Please check it out," which the guy said was strange.
I think this expression is normal, so why is it strange? Should I say "Please take a look"? Or "have a look"?
Many Thanks~~~

In some countries, you use 'check it out' to mean 'look here'.
Your friend ought perhaps to have said,"Please check this document for me." To check something means that you check it for errors etc. This is fairly standard in any country.
She could also say: "please take a look at this." That is correct.
