yesterday I had responded to an e-mail confirming the date, place, and time. Unfortunately, this Is what I wrote “Thank you very much more the invitation to interview for the winter 2015 position” instead of typing for I wrote more. Is this going to effect my chances on landing the internship offer???

I doubt it! You should be fine. I would reply again and put what you wanted to say. This exact thing happened to me. I dropped my iPhone before I could finish the email and when I picked it up my fingers hit send. I was horrified and thought I blew my chances, but I just resent the message explaining what happened immediately after. I still got the job, so you will be fine!

I think typos in an email are much more forgivable than typos in a resume from a hiring standpoint. A resume should have been thoroughly vetted before submitting it to anyone, but an email is more spontaneous. Especially with autocorrect on phones these days, your recipient has probably sent out enough similar types of typos that they won't be bothered by it.

Ok, I was thinking of not saying anything in case they don't even notice? I'm thinking they read plenty of these and kind of skim through them. I'm confident I did really good in my first interview so I hope this isn't a deal breaker. Any tips for differences between first interviews and second interviews.
