This will be good practice for both Learners of English and Spanish!!

It is essential (!!) to read this thread before you startgrin

We will do the following:

1) Give one address in English-

2) The next person will have to write the address in English in words and do the same in Spanish.

2) Provide a new mail address in English. (only the address not in words)

3) Click on NEWEST to continue in the right order.

Ok, first address:

pepitaflores@hotmail.com

Don't forget to read the thread I added above before you start!!

...dot, uk. Mickey and mouse both start with a capital letter. - webdunce, Jun 3, 2011
Although, email addresses are not usually case sensitive. So, don't consider the above a correction. - webdunce, Jun 3, 2011
After the @ symbol cannot be case sensitive. Before it, the username can theoretically be but is not in practice...or so I understand. - webdunce, Jun 3, 2011
Nah it doesn´t matter. If you type Mickey_Mouse78@yahoomail.co.uk or mickey_mouse78@yahoomail.co.uk they go to the same address. - mistermouse, Jul 28, 2011

Just a note to all, emails are generally given in all lower case (or all uppercase). You can capitalize letters if you wish (for stylistic reasons...like to help people see the words within the clod of letters), but this information is completely ignored by the email servers (which will likely convert them to all uppercase).

I am not certain it is necessary to mention capitals. Though it wouldn't be wrong, but does add extra, unneeded information.

Just my two cents.

It's my fault...I was the first to start mentioning capitals and then later realized the servers ignore it and then I realized no one has ever mentioned whether an email had capitals or not in all the years people have told me their emails. - webdunce, Jun 3, 2011
Thanks web, now you tell me! jejejeje - Yeser007, Jun 4, 2011
