Inland, that was the exact lesson I thought of too when I heard of Jenny describe wei1 in this dialogue. As Ken always says, I guess it really is about making connections!

What's the difference between 軟件 and 軟體？

Thanks!

April 23, 2008 at 2:57 PMAhh... Thanks Connie. If the subject was dropped and the sentence was just: 再一瓶吧？ Would it be comparable to asking in English.. "Another bottle/round?" without a verb?

I was in Taiwan a few weeks ago and I definitely saw a lot more pinyin. Even one of the MRT stops, which used to be Kunggwan(?) is now Gongguan. For romanization, pinyin does make more sense than Wade-Giles, but I still like ㄅㄆㄇㄈ better for learning.
