I didn't know using "dunno" was incorrect, I mean, when using a casual 
language like the one it happens on a mailing list such this :-?

When I'm not sure about a word (which happens more times than I'd like), 
I query several sources, like "Google translate" or the Oxford dictionary 
and in both appears as a proper/valid term:

http://translate.google.com/#en|es|I%20dunno 
http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/dunno

But I'm always willing to learn, so may I ask why you find its usage 
ofensive or not appropiate? I'm curious.

(feel free to e-mail me directly to avoid people gets angry for filling 
up the list with more and more Off-Topic questions...)

I will try to get used to a more polite speaking, but I will have to 
discard from my mind all that "AFAIK, IIRC, AFAICT...", which make me 
write a bit faster and do less typos ;-)
