@Brain:
Hey thanks for correcting my spelling, I can use all the help people will offer me.
Since you are the professor (which earns you my utmost respect), I will give you the honor of starting the thread.
Well, xie xie ni! (That’s Chinese for, “Thank you.”) It’s pronounced, “Ssshee ssshee nee”.
I’ll go ahead and start a thread. Although, since it’s WAY past my bedtime here, the opening post won’t be as verbose as the topic deserves. Maybe later I’ll edit it up to my standards. 8-)
As a disclaimer, I must admit that I’m not exactly a professor, but I have taught 1 year of English classes in a Chinese university here in China. :-P
