Pete, sweetheart, we forgive your oversight, keep up the vigilance, just dont become the post nazi. That would be a little ugly also. :-)

Cassie,

you are correct. Aussie means australian. Its an adjective - can be a person or a thing from Australia that is referred to this way.An Aussie wine is a wine from Australia. An Aussie can be an Australian person. Aussie culture is Australian culture and an aussie person .....you got it.

Comparing it to yank it would be yankee. You would say yankee wine perhaps but not yank wine.  Wine may be a bad example but you know what i mean.

from what I hear the lobster's nervous system is not capable of feeling that kind of pain. The noise they make has nothing to do with discomfort, its just some sort of physcial phenomena. Otherwise I would agree with you.

JP - Great, thanks, very instructional, but I think you enjoyed massaging your orbs way too much.

Changye

So if the pronunciations of 这, 那, and 哪. "zhei4, nei4, nei3" are all originated in "这一，那一，哪一", then they are "contractions", not just different pronunciations of 这, 那, and 哪. Is this what you are saying? Maybe they should be represented as zhe'i4, na'i3 and na'i4?
