You should leave a space between a period/full stop and the beginning of the next sentence. Remember to capitalize the first word in a sentence, proper nouns, and the word “I”. Try not to use the word “so” too often. Since this forum is not a text message or a chat room, you should spell words properly.

Hi, Torsten!
Some days ago I wrote a resume and had a problem with abbreviated forms of month. I can’t to write months names in very small cells where I need to place information about Full and Part time jobs. Now I feel myself like a professor! Because I know how to use shot forms of months! More over I know what to do at night Thu, Nov 13th 2008, in the morning tomorrow and at next weekend.
Thanks a lot for your lesson 13 (magic wonderful number!).
