# Aha :)
I think I would have fared better in a car crash than I did in my last Chinese exam. Still. Chin up.

# Plenty of time, you're still a young fellow-me-lad
Hell, I got as far as being able to pronounce pinyin but then realised I didn't actually know any Chinese words.

# Well that's something
You could work for the BBC as a how-to-pronounce-chinese-peoples-names-because-you-always-fucking-get-it-wrong consultant.

# You're damn right
It's so annoying hearing sports commentators pronouncing names wrongly, considering how easy it is to learn.

# I'm not sure if Chinese soccer captain Li Tie had his name pronounced right the whole time he was in the UK
But then he chose Everton so I've very little sympathy.

# I don't understand why Ding Junhui, or his manager or whatever, has never said anything
Even the announcer guy gets it wrong every time a session starts.

He looks quite a troubled man and I reckon that's why.

# I could be wrong, but...
the referee [Jan Ver Haas?] seems to get it right but the commentators still get it wrong.
Still, Hazel Irvine wouldn't get kicked out of bed over such a technicality. :)

I do not want to take credit for linguistic genius, when none is deserved. I am but a humble mono-lingual USAian

# First is "da" - big.
Second is "sheng" - voice
And third is "xiao" - laugh

# Yeah I get that bit...
But I can't thing how three Chinese syllables would spell out what you spelled out.

Where Zelterguist when you need him?

# I wonder if this means I'm on ignore and greedydave's forgotten.
Also: a new spelling of my name. I like it.
