Hi SM,

I agree with you. When posting something, people should come with valid
facts otherwise your message might be classified as gossip.

I think new technologies might be the cause of this, people get used to
technology and forget about how to write a formal message.

Best Regards,
Benoit

Hi Shelly,

I am writing to you as you are leading the Mauritius Internet Users. The
quality of the emails sent to the mailing list is poor as the sentences do
not look like they are written in English. Some opinions are not based on
facts and may convey misleading information.

I understand the local context and the way English is understood on the
island. People may be used to a writing short messages on Facebook instead
of writing a formal message. It is an embarrassment
to be part of a group which cannot write a message in English. It
is a problem for me to be on a mailing list on which people provide
misleading information in formal messages.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
