August 29, 2009 at 10:05 AMThat sounds like a good idea John and thanks for explaining.Yeah,I'd rather not have things slowed down.Loading a few at a time sounds fine.Then one can always reload a new batch straight away by deselecting the last set, hey?

August 27, 2009 at 1:54 PMI agree with RJ.I have had the same thoughts myself about the paucity of comments on the Pinyin program.The programme is useful,and because it's well explained [thus not much need for clarifying questions] and not controversial there's probably not too much left to say,but that doesn't mean it hasn't been widely appreciated.

August 25, 2009 at 5:48 AMSo can 穿穿 chuan1 chuan1 mean a cross dresser then,or was this just a Freudian slip from someone like the translator at CPod[我开玩笑。。j/k]? If so,better watch those verb reduplications.

August 22, 2009 at 1:15 PMI'm interested in this expression meaning to die:
上西天....on west sky/heaven
..to enter heaven,to rise to the western paradise
I thought they were travelling to the west on a pilgrimmage for the sacred book [wasn't this related to buddhism originating in India?].Is this also where heaven was thought to be?
..anyone have any insights on this?
