Good on you for your site! For someone who has English for a second language, you certainly have done well. Just a note, though, that the word "you" needn't be capitalized unless, of course, it begins a sentence. How very brave of you to launch this site. Content is wonderful!

LAST EDITED ON 23-Sep-00 AT 03:50 PM (GMT)Thanks!
About those "yous": I am working on it. When I was a kid, my teachers taught me to always capitalize the word with which the person is addressed to - a sign of formal respect. Whether it is the persons name or just "you". This rule does not apply to the third person speech (he/she). I guess they taught me well, I still do that. It is pretty much automatic but I am working on fixing it. Thanks again! Ilia
