Using 'Good Morning' in e-mails, fora, etc [duplicate]
2013年10月14日 · I know 'Good Morning' should be used before noon, and then 'Good Afternoon', and 'Good Day' is considered obsolete, but what more formal greeting to use in e-mails? 'Hi' is commonly accepted in not fully-formal e-mails, but when I write e-mail to help support, I don't think that 'Hi Help Support' is appropriate.
Native speakers never confuse sounds of 'ma'am' and 'man'?
2015年3月17日 · Thank you for detailed explanation. It is very easy to understand. "Levels of formality" is good word for me. I misunderstood the situation where I use these two words, like "ma'am" for a lady I first met and "man" for a guy who is friendly to me and even I first met. –
Is the usage of "ma'am" in the Philippines correct?
Yes, that usage is correct in the Philippines. Do note, however, that in Filipino English "ma'am" is not pronounced the same way as in American English, which can lead to some confusion: it's pronounced just like "Mom" or "Mum" (more akin to British or Canadian English, though the Filipino pronunciation does not originate there—it's just a coincidence that it sounds the same).

Capitalization for email greeting: Good morning OR Good Morning
2015年7月10日 · Good Morning! good morning! GOOD MORNING! However I did not see an example of "Good morning" on a greetings card. 2. If you are writing dialog, only the first word should be capitalised, e.g. "Good morning!" said John. "Good morning, John!" I replied. 3.

Mam vs Ma'am difference - English Language & Usage Stack …
2018年2月21日 · In most US dialects, Mam and Ma'am would be said exactly the same way (rhyming with Sam, ham, lamb). I suspect even non-rhotic US speakers would say both more-or-less this way, without sticking an r sound in. On the other hand, reading that Mam and Mum have the same pronunciation is completely bumfuzzling. –
