Dear All,
As per my opinion, making gramatical mistakes in wishing is not at all exceptable. It shows your unpreparedness. If he/she is very gramatically sound will definately look into tihs matter seriously. However we should always use the correct grammer and there is no harm in it.

Though "we" is plural, the verb will always be in singular form.
Hence, We wish you a very happy bday.
Similarly we never say i wishes you happy bday....instead we say "i wish you a very happy bday" or a simple Birthday wishes would also suffice.
Its upto u to decide whether the two sentences u quoted wd rely be appropriate. the first sentence clearly indicates your poor command over the language whereas the second sentence indicates a good command over the language. so what wd u like to portray???

Dear Members,
Having observed the present day status of the communication in most of the low/medium level Arts and Management Institutions and colleges in the capacity of Faculty and HR consultant since 15 years, I must admit that the business English and conversational English used by the majority of youngsters is far from the average standard-- leave alone the excellence.
It is time these youngsters start introspecting themselves on their current performance capabilities in different fields and in different situations. They applyand use the sms and mobile language which needs a separate brain to understand in our head. Their attention is more towards chatting on useless and senseless things, songs and internet beyond the normal acceptable levels.
