[Edward Wincott <Edward.Wincott AT jisc.ac.uk>]

Hello Patrick,

 

I am afraid I have to agree with Tim.  The welcome e-mail is in the form of a letter and as such the convention is that after the ‘Dear X,’ introduction, the main body of the correspondence begins as a new paragraph with a capitalised word.

If you do a search for ‘format of a letter’ you’ll find numerous examples of the paragraph beginning with a word in capitals – even though the introduction has only ended in a comma. Beginning that paragraph with lowercase is, I am afraid, incorrect and looks strange.

 

Regards,

 

Ed

Hi Timothy

 

This is in my opinion no typo, as after the word Chicago is a comma and thus the sentence continues and isn’t a new one with the word “we”.

 

Freundliche Grüsse

To whom it may concern,

 

Please see the typo in the welcome text. I don’t believe this is text that we are able to fix or customize as a CAT administrator.

 

Thanks,

FYI - There is small typo in the welcome message at https://cat.eduroam.org/?idp=775. The “w” in the sentence “we would like to warmly welcome you…” is not capitalized. This message is displayed after downloading the eduroam setup tool.
