00 One approach to preventing spam is to block any messages sent from e-mail addresses known to be used by spammers. This is harder than it seems because the spammers are constantly changing their accounts. The government would try to make many deceptive e-mail practices illegal. It would force commercial e-mail messages to identify the true sender and offer recipients an easy way to remove 01u01b00their02b02u00 names from marketing lists. However, Internet marketers say that the attack on spam has already gone too far, interfering with legitimate business.0510name[문서의 처음]

00Finding out the meaning of pronoun (including relative pronoun) is very hard in English. 0-

0Start by assuming it refers to the most recent noun that agrees with it in number.02br

00For example: Tom was supposed to meet his parents at 7, but he was late - he is singular, so it's Tom. Tom was supposed to meet his parents at 7, but they were late - they is plural, so it's "his parents."02br
