Hi all,

It's a very common mistake among learners of the English Language Does it sound formal to you?

Secondly, does the word ‘language’ in ‘the English Language’ start with a capital letter?


Best wishes,

Success - it is not the position where you are standing, but which direction you are going.

Ah, I see.  Thank you for helping me, Clive.

I believe it would be less formal to say 'It's a very common mistake among learners of English'.

Thank you again.

Best wishes,

PBF

Clived, I've noticed you capitalize the 'Hi' in the word 'hi' in the beginning of your posts(or at the beginning?)
Is it vital? From what I know, capitalizing one word that does not start in a beginning of a sentence(or at? the instead of a?) is wrong.
For example:

Hi Clive.
hi.
How are you doing?
fine.

I will appricate a sincere answer to my question(+the BOLDED questions).  Bold or bolded btw? Smile [:)]


Best Wishes(should I capitalize the W?)
Thanks in advance.

I will REALLY appreciate any corrections to my posts, whether it be grammar, glossary, or just something that could elevate my style. Thank you.

Yes, even if it is one word, you should still capitalise it.
