March 16, 2010 at 12:50 PMactually mate I'd have to agree with xiao_liang's explanation. "Guy" specifically refers to males.It can definitely be used in a unisex way as you say but only in certain contexts,like "hi guys"...pretty much when addressing a group of people.I've even seen it used when addressing a group of women only...but this is a very casual usage.However,if one were to say, " I saw this guy enter the bank" ,there's no two ways about it...it's referring to a male.I dunno what goes on down in Sydney though.

March 16, 2010 at 12:16 PMI got the point about Chinese liking numbers in their passwords.Some sites require passwords that are not only alphanumeric but contain capitals and symbols as well.So I'm wondering about the use of 多少 [how many].Obviously this is usually used when referring to numbers.Would it also be appropriate to use if asking about an alphanumeric password,or even a password purely containing letters? If not ,is it a fair assumption that it's always going to be a numeric password in such a situation?

March 15, 2010 at 2:09 PMthanks mate.It kinda sounded familiar but I thought it was just reminding me of other German words that have made it into English and I just couldn't place it [though it's a classic type of word to have made it in].If it's common in the UK and internet then it must just be my ignorance.
