September 1, 2012 at 4:38 AMI haven't followed QW for a long time, so I'm not sure if the dialogue tab is meant to accurately transcribe sentences from the lesson but the first one:
美国有很多人喜欢把蛇放在脖子上面
was missing a couple of components:
美国有很多人[不是]喜欢把[这是]蛇放在脖子上面
I think from memory it doesn't have to be verbatim as it's more for instruction, but the main reason I'm interested is because of this missing 不是....am I correct in thinking that having it in there would not have changed the meaning anyhow [the 不 not changing it to the opposite meaning here] as it was being used rhetorically [as in, " is it not the case that..." ] ?

September 1, 2012 at 4:25 AM哦，Jenny's最后的评论是非常有意思：

。。虽然我意识同志们的声音不一定不同的，话说回来我有点儿感兴趣听到中国同志们特殊的声音，要不然我自己我太感兴趣[可是我意识有人很感兴趣。。。只要课程有PG的警告就没问题。。。当然这个猥琐男的课程也应该有这种的警告]

"something along the lines of how we use 'at best', correct? (ie 'at best they are the same - 起码一样大‘）"
哦，不好意思，其实我上面尝试说“至少”的意思不过我的语法能力不太好，所以我不知道是否我上面“起码”的用法是不是正确。。很有可能我错了

August 25, 2012 at 12:47 AM"I always thought it was "pearler", as in a play on the word pearl"
yeah, I knew you could spell it either way, but it is precisely for the reason that "pearler" makes one think of "pearls" that I avoid that spelling. I guess I don't appreciate pearls enough or it sounds a bit girly, but it weakens it a bit for me and doesn't sound as Aussie. On the other hand, "purler" has a similar spelling to "burl" as in "give it a burl" another thing you might do playing cricket and may even result in a purler [yeah, I like your examples and I suspect I'm showing my age here...defs something I heard more as a kid].
