恭喜恭喜..第百插曲

[gongratulations...100th show]..how to say in Chinese?

Do you reckon the crowds and lines will die down at the Expo? Dunno why such events don't give everyone a ticket number like they do at the deli

如果我可以问她一个问题的话，就是问：

“那，你到底有没有找到那个白鲸？“

Actually I love that style of humour and would encourage you to kid around with me anytime I slip up.Sorry,I should have let jaochim come up with his own out,but as he's non native I couldn't resist giving him a hand. ;)

trevorb,

I can follow what you are saying with western writing and 左撇子人. Can't quite picture where the smudging would occur with the traditional hanzi writing. I guess at the bottom of the page when one then transferred to the top of the page one would have to be careful not to smudge the last character .But I would have thought for the rest that by the time you started a new line the ink would be dry. I guess I see your point but I suppose it comes down to ink drying times [currently usually only the last character but I guess in the olden times it may have been a lot slower]. If they were a little slow to dry and you had a fast writer then it may have been a problem.Perhaps a bit of smudging could then be a point of pride,hehe.

ps There was never going to be ink smudging in the movie Hero with the long calligraphy brushes used:

...but a bit of blood smudging or arrow holes was a possibility
