I thought people could understand it was not a matter of impoliteness even if some spelling mistakes were found in emails or online messages, because as non-English speakers, we wouldn't react as quickly as the native English sopeakers did. But after listening to your lecture, I find it really important to spell correctly if we expect to leave good impression on others. And I will surely try the amazing tool for spelling checking. :shock: Dear Lori:

I'm from Brazil and I'm an English teacher. I didn't know about your site and I loved your video! I still have a lot to learn!! Your site is really cool! What GermanTester said is true and it's happened to me once. I wrote a friend from Slovenia an e-mail and, at the end of it I said I wasn't going to reread it. I didn't mean for him to be offended, but I guess he was, a bit. He said that I shouldn't have mentioned that and it could seem the person who was receiving the email might think he/she wasn't worth my time. Lori's completely right. We mustn't be careless when writing. It reflects who we are, indeed! Best regards! Rafa Wonderful!

I, for one, learned written English, and I'm still striving to acquire fluency; but I believe this is the reverse situation of most learners. I particularly liked the bit on Firefox :wink: . As you said, Firefox freakin' rocks! You're doing a great work here, congrats. Very interesting, spot on article.

The reader of your message could think he or she is so unimportant to you that you don't invest any time to spell correctly. That could be one reason why he or she is not interested in being nice to you. But perhaps you need to engage his or her sympathy for you.

Thank you once again for your efforts to teach us English. As you know perfectly well, the meaning of a sentence often depends on stress and intonation. So, it is very important to learn the rules of stress in a sentence. Would you please give me some practical tips about learning stress and pronunciation. Looking forward to hearing from you.
