Dear Kartik and Srihari, 

Yeah, you are right. Colon looks like being overused here. I mean, it could
have been better without the colon. Right. 

 

With warm regards, 

Rajesh

Dear Rajesh and Kartik,

 

Great discussion. The colon is weird. However, the British style of writing
involves over-punctuation, a victim of which, is writing this email :).

 

Sincerely,

 

Srihari

Dear Rajesh

Good to know but wouldn't the sentence be better and simpler without the
colon. Please clarify. :) .

Dear Kartik, 

Yeah, you are right, except the fact that "colon (:)" is alright. 

 

Have a great time ahead. 

 

With warm regards,

Hi

I think the ' : ' should not be there and it should be he instead of ha.
Also the sentence should end in double quotes.

Hope I'm correct. :) .

Dear friends, 
I was reading a news in Guardian news-media website, I came across this
article which has little flaw in it -- which is of course not something that
significant, but still has to be taken care of. 

The paragraph reads something like this: 

He added: "And so, to those brave people. I thank President Correa for the
courage ha has shown in considering and granting me political asylum.

Can you find what's wrong with this sentence? 

Follow the link for the full article:

Have a great time ahead. 

With best regards, 
Rajesh Chaudhary
