Which term is more common for jockey,qíshī or qíshǒu [as in this lesson]? Is the former more common for jockeys in horseriding and the latter in equestrian ?

mystic,

Sure,but if you go on the Community page and look under Newest Users you'll see it looks like Sir Donald is back for another innings.I can understand you finding this momingqimiao [baffling] but I reckon The Don's good for another century.Jiayou [to cheer someone on].

Hey,I'd just like to send a shoutout and welcome Don Bradman to the community [as well as all other newbies] and like to know if he's gonna be at the Shanghai meetup.I also note that the Don ,while new to the community is an intermediate learner.While not a newbie therefore I think he should still be encouraged to come to the meetup as he's new to navigating the site and it's features ,etc, [and I wanna come and get his 签名 [autograph]]. Anyhow,good on you Don old mate. :)

Sure,you can go as general or as specific as you want.To Pleiadeans we would all have Earthling accents.Yay,I'm sounding more Chinese already. :)

I meant to ask what "mitab" was,the one bit I couldn't figure out,so thanks for confirming it as forelock.
