The U．S.Postal Service delivers(递送)ail through rain and snoBut people who look forward to receiving ail on Saturdays ay soon be disappointed.In order to cut costs，Postaster General John Potter has suggested reducing ail delivery by one day per week.
Fro 2008 to 2009，the aount of ail in the United States dropped by nearly 26 billion pieces.The ain reasons for the decline(下降)have nothing to do with bad weather or barking dogs.In the Internet age，any people are choosing eail over writing letters.They are paying bills online instead of ailing checks(支票)．
