Dear Christina,

Just dropping you a quick email to say hello! It’s Friday afternoon, and I’m at home, catching up on my emails. I always check them when I get back from school.

I’ve got friends all over Europe and even some in other parts of Ireland. We use the Internet to chat, play games, and sometimes even look up stuff (you know, when we’re pretending to study). Do you do the same in Greece?

Oh, by the way, our English teacher, Mr Butterworth, caught me playing a game during class once. He looked at me, shook his head, and said, “Philip, if you were half as good at grammar as you are at gaming, you’d be writing novels by now.” I still don’t know if that was a compliment or an insult!

Anyway, time to go now.

Cheers,
Philip

Philip

 


Both “e-mail” and “email” are correct, but “email” has become more widely accepted, especially in informal writing. “E-mail” with the hyphen is the original form, reflecting its origin as “electronic mail,” but as the term has become common, the hyphen is often dropped.
