Throughout the ecard module the terms ecard, e-card and E-card are used interchangeably. I suggest selecting one usage and making that consistent throughout. Similarly, on the send form you will find inconsistent usage for email. There is "Sender email:" and "E-mail(s) of recipient(s):"
Additionally, I believe there is a need for instructions to users regarding the E-mail(s) of recipient(s). It now says that "You may enter multiple emails", but it does not indicate how those multiple email addresses should be separated (comma, space, return). I suggest that it would be helpful to tell users exactly how to enter multiple emails.

kars-t commentedHi
yes you are absolutely correct!
I am no english native speaker but I believe that e-mail is correct?
If you have a suggestion for a nice help text please post it! :D

Comment #3
epersonae2 commentedAfter testing it out, I made suggestions in this issue http://drupal.org/node/987460 for correcting these items, no response so far from the developer. ("email" is generally the correct usage.)

Well from this diskussion I would say it should be "e-mail" because of two things:
1. Stella did patch e-mail in and she is from ireland and so an english native speaker.
2. electronic-mail = e-mail seems more correct to me.
But still I will ask for opinions on IRC now.
Comment #5
epersonae2 commentedEither way, consistency is a good idea. (Actual usage points to "email": http://www.google.com/trends?q=email%2Ce-mail - FWIW.)
Comment #6
kars-t commentedI go with e-mail :)
