Hi all, I totally agree with Kianoosh that our writing should exceed a certain number of words in order to force ourself to write longer. The longer we write, the more your English will improve. I think we should set a minimum number of words that emails need to reach before being delivered to all group. I suggest that minimum number should be 60 - it's not a big number of words to write. It would be ok if you wrote 50 words or a bit less.
I think another reason for this regulation is that if we write too short, you'll not only gain nothing from your writing but also annoy all members of the group by your nearly empty emails. It might lead to a flood of emails. My first paragrap consists of 85 words, so I think the number 60 is reasonable.

The question is how can we improve our English,if we only write a couple of sentences and nobody care about it whether is it grammatically correct or not? Therefore, i would like to suggest that all of us, one after one, should post a text and the other members should write, which mistakes the person did and how she / he had to write it in a better way.
