I was reading Silver-dot's blog and i thot.. u gotta be kidding me... what has anything got to do how the chinese write their mandarin? its crazy!

den i googled - http://pinyin.info/news/2006/un-to-drop-traditional-chinese-characters-report/

and than there's a pretty legit looking - http://www.gopetition.com/region/237/8314.html


Altho Singapore only uses Simplfied Chinese, its not that difficult to master, appreciate and understand Trad Chinese. In fact Trad Chinese in HK and Taiwanese comic books pulled my mother tongue grades up tremendously from Cs to As, with no extra effort. - Ok, i had a terror of a China teacher too. ;o)

I always thot that trad chinese are a beautiful language capable of conveying every little naunce of emotions. Whereas simplfied chinese, altho easier to write, loses much in between the lines. Its like trying to read Nicolas Sparks in sms lanaguage you know. Its just not the same.

I don't know abt you, but I'm signed the petition.
