I get a lot of emails everyday (150-200 would be a close figure). As
such, I can say with confidence that people find it easier to read
emails that are written in plain english, i.e. without using sms lingo
or trying to write roman hinglish. As far as the part about colonial
legacy goes, yes, I find it easier to read english rather than hindi.
If anyone starts writing in hindi (and thunderbird will have no problems
in showing such emails), I will simply pass over that email.
if u cn rd this, u nd a dictionary.
