September 4, 2007 at 3:26 AMHi Changye I'm not certain if you are referring to my comment on neutral vs. neuter, but you are right. It isn't easy nowadays. However, I am willing to bet you can tell (the vast majority of the time) by looking at the person's hands (the Adam's apple is a good trick too.) Having seen and touched thousands upon thousands of hands in my career, I'm quite certain of this.

September 3, 2007 at 5:12 AMHi Amber I am used to saying, \"快八点了” (almost 8) rather than “都.\" Are they equivalent? 已 经 means \"already\" thus would express a slightly different meaning.

September 3, 2007 at 2:21 AMI like Aunty Sue's idea of a longer list of "latest conversations." That saves us one little click when on the homepage if we're just interested in seeing the latest comments. One click is no big deal normally, but on a educational website where there is generally alot of cross referencing, one less click here and there adds up.

September 3, 2007 at 1:48 AMNice lesson. In my teens, my dad used to throw left-overs together into a stew-like dish in a pot and call it "糊涂飯“ or "confused" meal. Hehe, I thought was funny.

September 2, 2007 at 5:34 PMChangye Since bostonphil pointed out a minor correction to ingmar, I thought I'd throw in one as well. Do you mean "neutral" and not "neuter?" I think you mean the former and not the latter when contrasting feminine/masuline and neutral.

September 4, 2007 at 4:40 AMJohn, I am certain that your hands are as masculine as your voice. One can be masculine and sensitive (like a poet) simultaneously. Perhaps we should make a game of this: "Guess Who's Hands!' There could be a picture of a set of hands, with some hints perhaps, and whoever correctly ID's the hands gets a prize! Like a practice plan call from Aggie, for instance, or an autographed picture of Jenny!
