Posted on: Which is better: China or the USA?
December 31, 2010 at 6:38 PMFYI, an interesting page of Wikipedia presents different definitions of the "Western World" :
* Ethnic / Linguistic
* Cultural
* Modern Political
* Economic
* Civilization (Huntington's thesis)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world
The french associated page presents the evolution of the definition during European history :
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occident
The german associated page seems to be a synthesis of the english and french pages except for the truthful affirmation "Paris bei Nacht mit Blick auf den Eiffelturm gilt als eines der bekanntesten Symbole der westlichen Welt" (Paris by night with a view of the Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous symbols of the Western world). ;o)

The spanish associated page also gives an artistic definition :

我知道了, 中文并不总是像其他的语言。
在你回答 ”清仓“ 好像 ”stock clearing“ 的英文意思。
可是 Nciku 有别的意思 (make an inventory of warehouses, clarification about the amount of stock)。看起来这种意思用清楚的清。

December 13, 2010 at 7:56 AMCuriously, this mistake is allover the podcast (audio and text).
"Female masseuse" doesn't make any sense.
A masseuse is a woman who performs massage (a female masseur).
