What are 2 kinds of e-mail?   

POP & Virtual
(virtual also called web based)

POP Mail:  Post Office Protocol, mail that comes to 1 computer. 
You probably click a little envelope or a mail button on the screen to access it.
Think of that computer as a Post Office, and you must go to it to receive the mail.  

Virtual Mail:  mail that can be read from any computer, because you go to a web site to access it.
Yahoo Mail is an example.

Oh my goodness!  Betty has a terrible habit of giving too much information over the internet and e-mail. 
Never, never give personal information like your last name, address, or birthday.
Be safe.  Be smart.  Don't be a Betty Blabbermouth!

If you receive a message from Miss Spelled it will likely take some time to decipher.  She can be a little hap-hazard when it comes to spelling.
Her friends are getting tired of having to work so hard to read her messages.
If only she would check for spelling errors before sending her messages.
