问题      Accompanying the general tendency of E-mailers to be informal is the tendency of readers to be more forgiving than readers of printed material. 【61】 Since E-mail is a simple substitute for a routine telephone call, its quick brief messages last remarkably short -- there is no point in styling them, or in being concerned with the niceties of their grammar. Where a misspelling in a printed letter leaves many readers concluding that the writer is a crude person or a fool, the same misspelling in an E-mail message hardly makes a difference to the readers. They assume that the writer must be too busy working or having fun online to bother with spellcheckers and dictionaries.
   【62】 These different expectations can liberate us from many of the more dull conventions that can make print communications slow, stuffy, and even tedious. But they can also lead us to unintentional rudeness, manner lightness that seems disrespectful, or the appearance of indifference to our readers.
   It is too early to tell whether the informality of E-mail will begin to influence the way we write on paper. 【63】 Certainly, bad spellers will hope the more forgiving attitude of E-mail ’readers might spill over to print readers and that E-mail is really a medium that can be used for a whole range of situations. Not a brand of English that is noteworthy chiefly for a small set of his stylistic conventions. It is easy to get entranced by the novelty and the speed of electronic communication and to think of it more as a playground than as a city full of varied neighborhoods. As a writer you must always keep your wits about you and be street smart.
   【64】 It is important to remember the virtues that traditional written communication offers opportunities to shape pieces of writing into something worth saving and chances to move a reader by careful arrangement of words for their accumulative effect. A formal occasion in life, an important business communication, a job application, or a serious personal letter has its own special writing requirements, whether you send it as a hard copy in the mail or as a series of high-pitched electronic sounds over a cable. 【65】 The informal chatter we like so much is not really suitable for every message we might send by E-mail; just as everything has its limits, E-mail is no exception.

选项
答案当然，不善于拼写的人会希望电子信件读者的宽容态度也可以波及到打印书稿的读者，他们还希望电子信件确实是一个可以应用于各种各样的语言环境中的媒介。
解析 本句含有两个宾语从句和一个定语从句。句子的主体句式是：bad spellers will hope (that)．．．and that E-mail is really a medium...。其中主句的谓语动词hope带有两个宾语从句，其中第一个宾语从句的关联词that被省略了；第二个宾语从句中的medium又带有一个由关系代词that引导的定语从句。此外，spill over to可以意译为“波及”。
