Hi Petr, I will correct this fully when I have more time, perhaps later tonite....
In general your English is very good indeed, though I did see a couple of punctuation errors. You may or may not be aware of this, but "Be your delay forgiven" sounds very old-fashioned and hoity-toity, at least in American English. But you put a smiley after it so maybe you know this already... Cheerio until later... PS, maybe you could teach me a few words of Czech too. I loved the (Czech) movie that was called "Kolya" in the USA... Petr Hrubis wrote: > Hi Raj, > > Be your delay forgiven ;).
