Thank you for your response. I really appreciate this
If you don't mind me saying this, but you refereed me as "Hello Dear". Do you know that this is a grammar mistake that South Asians do a lot. This should always be referred to your spouse. I believe that you wanted to say Dear Forum Member or something, the way its said in a letter. Dear followed by a name in a letter is acceptable to use in letters or emails or posts. Dear a lone sounds too intimate, and I am a female so I am uncomfortable with this.
In fact, in my CSS journey, I noticed this a lot that people use dear to refer to friends and complete strangers. This is actually incorrect and native English speakers don't use it in this way. I don't mean to offend anyone, my intention of pointing this out is to help the forum members to better understand English Language as natives speak it.
