About to start emailing profs to ask if they're accepting grad students in their lab next year. Any common mistakes I should avoid? Do I attach a CV? Am I putting way too much anxiety on a simple email? Don't answer the last one, I know it's yes. #AcademicTwitter #PhDchat

I'm not from the USA, I'm a Cypriot academic in the UK, so please bear this in mind but I'm really confused by this. I understand emailing but why ask if accepting? Why not just ask if they would want you? I think I'm missing something deep about US academia.
