Is this kind of response really necessary?

Should I point out how to spell as well? Tempting, but it probably isn't necessary.

I suspect that wasn't a spelling error, but a typographical one.

Hello Kathryn,

Did you watch the "road to victory" videos? If you did, there is a hand where Gavin suggests with the invitational 3-card raise you just leap to game after 2♥. I think that is a good strategy. So with an invite and TWO ♥, you raise to 3♥, partner will know you don't have three-card support and can still suggest 3NT. This in turn means there isn't much a point of bidding 2NT now.

I think Fred's suggestion of bidding 3NT here is a bit pushy, but then again he declares them better than I do :)

I don´t think leaping to game is a good strategy at MPs, specially not vulnerable when partner´s lower range is around 10.
