May 7, 2012 at 7:40 AMThis lesson actually came from the request of a user who gave us the outline. A topic like this can't possibly be covered in one lesson. That's just an aspect that this user found to be helpful. We put in a lot of research work before writing a lesson on specific and especially specialized topics while keeping up with the daily publication schedule. Your suggestions are duly noted. There's always room for improvement.

April 23, 2012 at 3:52 AM"牠" is the traditional version of 它。The traditional system has three neuter third-person pronouns, 牠 (tā) for animals, 祂 for deities, and 它 for inanimate objects, but this distinction is sometimes blurred in actual usage; in simplified Chinese, 它 is used in place of 牠.
