agree  denny (X): But - if addressed to someone not familiar with anglo-saxon customs, an explanation might be useful. Last time I checked, most Hungarians (if not named Valentine) would not celebrate this date.

agree  Veronika Wagner: Once I also heard about a guy answering his girlfriend's kind greetings that he was never called Valentine. Most people know about it, though.

neutral  Erzsébet Czopyk: orthography, exclamation mark, dear colleagues...
