Americans should know better, or should have known better, or should STILL know better...right? And, so should everybody! Use your handkerchief... BUT, please DO NOT use the gutter!

No. It'd be like talking about The Canterbury Tales, on TV, is what you should have said.

Uncommonly common, in this instance, maybe... But, what do I know about anything?

Yes. It is very easy for me to utter, in Chinese, the utterance that you have just uttered here.

Finally, JT... You and I have found something (important) to agree upon. Just do not, ever again, mention to me the unmentionable Dr. F. Thank you.

I am just happy for you that you still find something to love in this world. I love China, for sure, by which I mean Chinese culture, including the language, and the written language, which is just one part of Chinese culture.

Maybe you cannot. But, maybe I CAN, and have/do. I know what I like. However, taste is not something that can be objectively measured. Again, you are so right, JT!

Begin with the mastery of the Chinese language. Even more important than sampling the Chinese cuisine, IMHO.

Again....You speak the TRUTH. Thank you for backing me up here on this important Topic!

The Family is China's strength which has been responsible for the endurance of Chinese culture. I agree that my spelling is atroshuss, and, on most days, I am unable to spell civilisation, in a civil fashion.... Spelling is less important than Familly, however, is my humble two cents.

By The Way: Thanks to all for some good suggestions, THUS FAR. I must assemble a new desktop computer, very soon...probably next week. And, I will try to choose components which might even outlive me (Same as with My Refrigerator.) Personally, I really like the looks of the Fractal Design 7 Case! But, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...I guess. Each to his or her own.... Tks again...

The CCP is warped. Yes. Everybody knows this is true. However, mark my words, The Family shall survive intact, in China. The CCP has, so far, been unable to destroy the Family in China.

Being a US citizen does not necessarily mean that Trump is on one's mind, or even a welcome topic of discussion.T This is the reason for the question posed in my Topic, of course.

Neither. We are talking about Chinese culture, and not Chinese governments. We are not talking about governments; we are talking about China.

No. I would not. What would be the purpose of using fake RAM? What would be the benefit? I use a computer for many years. I buy 16 GB of RAM, and use it for 10 years. I buy the best I can afford, and it lasts, and has never failed. Therefore, it would not be cost effective for me to buy fake RAM. But this time around, I think I will get two sticks of 16GB RAM. And, I will have no need to get the fastest RAM, either. So, IMHO, RAM is a true bargain for what one gets. No need to shirk by buying less than genuine.

They have the right to their conceit. This is what I am saying! What is your favorite Chinese dish?

Australia is STILL a great country, IMHO. I would be HAPPY to live there, for sure. The greatness of a country depends UPON the lens used to view it, for sure. What lens do you use?

Chicken Chao Mien, I think you meant to say...because this is how we romanize the Chinese using PinYin.... Good to know if you are thinking of visiting Beijing, perhaps....

And to think, after all these years, I have still not completely shaken off my American roots....! Boggles the mind, actually.

This may be the consequence of having to STAND IN LINE to obtain anything of value...during the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and the extreme competition for resources ongoing in Commie China. BUT, the Commies have not been around very long, relatively speaking, in Chinese history. They will be gone soon...and...The family will continue to survive.

It seems, these days, that the USA is existing in a bubble.

No harm done... Please do not stress about it.

a. Why are the Chinese so very proud of their culture? b. Is China the greatest country that has ever existed on the face of this earth? Yes. China is the greatest country that has ever existed. And, one other thing I do know is that the Chinese Culture is also the greatest that has ever existed, and for many, MANY reasons. I should know, after all, having left my culture at a young and tender age, just in order to become immersed in Chinese culture for the rest of my life. There are many, MANY, fine things about Chinese culture. The first and foremost aspect of Chinese culture is its respect for family, the belief that family is more important than almost anything else. In addition, the respect for ancestor, and even ancestor worship, is central to placing the family at the forefront of existence. So, are you enjoying the Chinese culture while you are here in East Asia and SE Asia? I am sure you are. What is it that you love most about Chinese culture? Best regards, Gamma

Because this photo seems wrong. Actually, it looks like it shows an old abandoned Silver Mine in Colorado. Also, 3 x 3 square meter chute should mean: There are three of them. And, each of the three are 3 square meters. Therefore, this says nothing about the shape of the chute. For all we know, the chutes could be kidney-shaped. But, the only requirement is that they are each three square meters in area, and that there are three identical chutes. I am very knowledgeable about Algebra and Geometry, and so this is not a difficult sentence for me to understand accurately, unlike some others, it seems. Still, a very good news story...!

I wish you had posted your thoughts in My Topic... New-Business Ideas for You and Me in 2024. This Topic would have been perfect for you. Still, making money on a translation business is very time-consuming, and not very profitable, and you always need to make deadlines, so it's a bad business for 2024.
