[STRIKE]Hello[/STRIKE] Unnecessary, but if you must use it, put a full stop after it.

Could anybody please take a look at this and tell me if it is OK?

Please see my amendments above in red. Remember the following rules of British English:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".
- Capitalise all proper nouns (English, Shakespeare, Hindi, Microsoft etc).
- Do not put a space before a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.

Emsr2d2's "rules of British English" also apply to most other varieties of English, including American English.

Apologies - that should have said "written English", not "British English".
