Your English is very understandable, don't worry about spelling
errors. As long as people understand you are ok. The main thing is to
find the right words which you seem very capable of doing. Also,
everyone who'd wonder about spelling would see just from your email
address that it's from Brazil.

saying mais

Thanks! Ah, I should have known because Adriano from the MSP430 forum
who is also from Brazil had explained that to me last year. No double
enhancements in one sentence, although we are guilty of sometimes
doing that in German as well. And believe it or not, I have seen that
in a Brazilian business letter :-)

I don't know Portuguese. In college we had a small group where one
student taught us Spanish and we taught him German. Then his father
got sick so he had to return to Panama and two Brazilian women took
over. That way we also heard some Portuguese. It was hard to
concentrate, of course. As meninas brazilian são bonitas.

It's only one 't', "gute". In common German they write it capitalized
"Dich" but that was changed in the last grammar law. Crazy, the
government thought they could change the grammar. Most people
including me did not accept it and just continued using the old style.
Same for many newspapers.

Obrigado, Joerg   (hope this was correct...)
