Well, I guess it's natural for Americans though.

ok....

I did some checking, and it seems it's not misspelled.

It's どうも, not どもう.

Yes, my point exactly. It's a spelling error, one letter off - does that really warrant people asking to check his IP to see if it comes out of Japan? You didn't even give him a chance to respond.

You're right.

Just seems odd to me that a Japanese native would come on a Japanese forum and ask for friends, then misspell his own language.

Don't know if you know this or not but typos aren't really common with Japanese.

I dunno, I was just jumping on the bandwagon. XD

Apparently we're Nazis now, alanX. Bummer My Jewish family won't be too thrilled...

Nah, it's written both ways by native speakers. Technically は is correct, but so many people in my generation write わ that I haven't decided which to use yet. I'll probably stick with the correct one, cuz if other foreigners are calling me out, you KNOW something's wrong XD

I should just go for broke and write こんにち和.
